Took a rough look at the code, looks like
kvm_arch_setup_sync_fp() preserves the temporal cr3
kvm_arch_async_page_ready() confirms the ready (resolved) PF does
correspond to current vcpu context.
To be conservative, I prefer keep
kvm_arch_setup_async_pf()/kvm_arch_async_page_ready() as is, i.e. LAM
bits is contained in the checking.

As for FNAME(walk_addr_generic)()
	pte           = mmu->get_guest_pgd(vcpu);
I think it's like mmu_alloc_shadow_roots(), i.e. LAM bits should be
cleared. 

If no objection, I'll update in next version.
