I love how cleanly you've implemented TDP MMU fast PF support here
with so little code duplication. I think this approach will work well.

My only reservation is that this links the way we locklessly change
(and handle changes to) SPTEs between the TDP and legacy MMUs.

fast_pf_fix_direct_spte is certainly a much simpler function than
tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic, but it might be worth adding a comment
explaining that the function can modify SPTEs in a TDP MMU paging
structure. Alternatively, fast_page_fault could call
tdp_mmu_set_spte_atomic, but I don't know if that would carry a
performance penalty. On the other hand, the handling for this
particular type of SPTE modification is unlikely to change, so it
might not matter.
