I think the commit message should also mention that you maintain a list
of seen nested stage 2 translation contexts and associated shadow page
tables.

unmap?  We clear the entire shadow stage 2 page table, right?

I'm wondering if we really need the separate spin lock or if we could
just grab the KVM mutex?

huh?

> +	if (!vttbr)

why is this a special case?

Theoretically an IPA of zero and VMID zero could be a valid page table
base pointer, right?

I'm gussing because the guest hypervisor occasionally writes zero into
VTTBR_EL2, for example when not using stage 2 translation, so perhaps
what you need to do is to defer creating a new nested mmu structure
until you actually enter the VM with stage 2 paging enabled?

I'm wondering if this can be simplified by having get_nested_mmu lookup
and allocate the struct and renaming the get_nested_mmu funtion to
lookup_nested_mmu?  This caller looks racy, even though it isn't, which
would be improved by my suggestion as well.

While the function is called unmap, what we really do is
clearing/flushing the shadow stage 2 page table.
