Special pages are pages to hold PDPTEs for 32bit guest or higher
level pages linked to special page when shadowing NPT.
Current code use mmu->pae_root, mmu->pml4_root, and mmu->pml5_root to
setup special root. The initialization code is complex and the roots
are not associated with struct kvm_mmu_page which causes the code more
complex.
Add kvm_mmu_alloc_special_page() and mmu_free_special_root_page() to
allocate and free special shadow pages and prepare for using special
shadow pages to replace current logic and share the most logic with
normal shadow pages.
The code is not activated since using_special_root_page() is false in
the place where it is inserted.

+ * Special pages are pages to hold PAE PDPTEs for 32bit guest or higher level
+ * pages linked to special page when shadowing NPT.
+ *
+ * Special pages are specially allocated. If sp->spt needs to be 32bit, it
+ * will use the preallocated mmu->pae_root.
+ *
+ * Special pages are only visible to local VCPU except through rmap from their
+ * children, so they are not in the kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages nor in the hash.
+ *
+ * And they are either accounted nor write-protected since they don't has gfn
+ * associated.
+ *
+ * Because of above, special pages can not be freed nor zapped like normal
+ * shadow pages. They are freed directly when the special root is freed, see
+ * mmu_free_special_root_page().
+ *
+ * Special root page can not be put on mmu->prev_roots because the comparison
+ * must use PDPTEs instead of CR3 and mmu->pae_root can not be shared for multi
+ * root pages.
+ *
+ * Except above limitations, all the other abilities are the same as other
+ * shadow page, like link, parent rmap, sync, unsync etc.
+ *
+ * Special pages can be obsoleted but might be possibly reused later. When
+ * the obsoleting process is done, all the obsoleted shadow pages are unlinked
+ * from the special pages by the help of the parent rmap of the children and
+ * the special pages become theoretically valid again. If there is no other
+ * event to cause a VCPU to free the root and the VCPU is being preempted by
+ * the host during two obsoleting processes, the VCPU can reuse its special
+ * pages when it is back.
