When the 5-level page table is enabled on host OS, the nested page table

If this patch authored by Paolo, he needs to be attributed via From:. If Paolo
is a co-author, he needs a Co-developed-by:. If either of those is true, your
SOB needs to be last in the chain since you are the last handler of the patch.
If neither is true, Paolo's SOB should be removed.
I didn't even remember writing this, but it's possible I pseudocoded in
an email just like you did below.
- return PT64_ROOT_4LEVEL;
+ bool la57 = (cr4_read_shadow() & X86_CR4_LA57) != 0;
+
+ return la57 ? PT64_ROOT_5LEVEL : PT64_ROOT_4LEVEL;
Why obfuscate this? KVM is completely hosed if pgtable_l5_enabled() doesn't
match host CR4. E.g.
return pgtable_l5_enabled() ? PT64_ROOT_5LEVEL : PT64_ROOT_4LEVEL;
That also suggests the above pseudocoding scenario, where I'd be too
lazy to look up the correct spelling of pgtable_l5_enabled().
