The mmu_check_root() check in fast_pgd_switch() seems to be superfluous: when GPA is outside of the visible range cached_root_available() will fail for non-direct roots (as we can't have a matching one on the list) and we don't seem to care for direct ones. Also, raising #TF immediately when a non-existent GFN is written to CR3 doesn't seem to mach architectural behavior. Drop the check.
