From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Current code uses mmu->pae_root, mmu->pml4_root, and mmu->pml5_root to setup special roots. The initialization code is complex and the roots are not associated with struct kvm_mmu_page which causes the code more complex. So add new special shadow pages to simplify it. The special shadow pages are associated with struct kvm_mmu_page and VCPU-local. The special shadow pages are created and freed when the roots are changed (or one-off) which can be optimized but not in the patchset since the re-creating is light way (in normal case only the struct kvm_mmu_page needs to be re-allocated and sp->spt doens't, because it is likely to be mmu->pae_root) Changed from v1: Rebase to newest kvm/queue. Slightly update patch4.
