I strongly prefer to keep <reg> in the name, both to match the mmu_role bits and
to make it a bit more clear that it's reflective (modified) register state, as
opposed to PTEs or even something else entirely.  E.g. I always struggled to
remember the purpose of mmu->nx flag.

I wouldn't be opposed to is_mmu_##reg##_##name() though.  I omitted the "mmu"
part because it was loosely implied by the "struct kvm_mmu" param, and to keep
line lengths short.  But being explicit is usually a good thing, and looking at
the code I don't see any lines that would wrap if "mmu" were added.
