Please include "TDP MMU" somewhere in the shortlog. It's a nice to have, e.g. not
worth forcing if there's more interesting info to put in the shortlog, but in this
case there are plenty of chars to go around. E.g.

Newline please, this is well over 80 chars.

Hmm, so _all_ of this unnecessary, i.e. this can simply be:
role = vcpu->arch.mmu->mmu_role.base;
Probably better to handle everything except .level in a separate prep commit.
I'm not worried about the cost, I want to avoid potential confusion as to why the
TDP MMU is apparently "overriding" these fields.
