kvm_vcpu_init_walker() is a rather odd and almost maliciously obtuse.  We're not
short on space for this one, so how about?

static void kvm_mmu_init_guest_walker(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
				      struct kvm_mmu *mmu,
				      union kvm_mmu_paging_mode new_mode)

Nice!  I really like that this highlights that the nested_mmu crud is just for
the walker.  Can you also add a comment here explaining that part?
