While we're behind the bikeshed... the resulting:

	union kvm_mmu_role cpu_role;
	union kvm_mmu_page_role mmu_role;

is a mess.  Again, I really like "mmu_role" in a vacuum, but juxtaposed with
	
	union kvm_mmu_role cpu_role;

it's super confusing, e.g. I expected

	union kvm_mmu_role mmu_role;

What about

	union kvm_mmu_page_role root_role;
	union kvm_mmu_paging_mode cpu_mode;

? I already have to remove ".base" from all accesses to mmu_role, so it's not much extra churn.
