If you don't mind, I prefer "shared" as the name for the new argument (i.e. "this is what you need to know", rathar than "this is what I want you to do").

Still unused as of this patch, so please move it where it's used.

Note that in this case, "atomic" in the name is appropriate, think of hypothetical code like this:

	if (!shared)
		tdp_mmu_set_spte(...)
	else if (!tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic(...)
		

which says "if there could be concurrent changes, be careful and do everything with atomic operations".
