Since the guest PGD is now loaded after the MMU has been set up

can be folded in kvm_mmu_new_pgd.

As an aside, the !tdp_enabled case in the function was dead code,
and that also gets mopped up as a side effect.
Couldn't the !tdp_enabled case be called via kvm_set_cr3() ->
kvm_mmu_new_pgd()?


Right, it's not dead code. Rather, there never was a need for kvm_mmu_calc_root_page_role(vcpu) as opposed to just using what is already in vcpu->arch.mmu.
