Drop the smep_andnot_wp role check from the "uses NX" calculation now that all non-nested shadow MMUs treat NX as used via the !TDP check. The shadow MMU for nested NPT, which shares the helper, does not need to deal with SMEP (or WP) as NPT walks are always "user" accesses and WP is explicitly noted as being ignored: Table walks for guest page tables are always treated as user writes at the nested page table level. A table walk for the guest page itself is always treated as a user access at the nested page table level The host hCR0.WP bit is ignored under nested paging.

Good idea, but why not squash it into patch 2? Paolo
