FYI this (and a couple other parts of this series) conflict with Nested
MMU Eager Page Splitting, since it uses struct kvm_vcpu in kvm_mmu_get_page().

Hopefully Paolo can queue Nested MMU Eager Page Splitting for 5.20 so
you can apply this series on top. I think that'd be simpler than trying
to do it the other way around.
