Why change the order? Either the order doesn't matter, in which case go for the
smallest diff, or the order does matter, in which case this warrants an explanation
in the changelog (or perhaps even a separate patch, but that's likely overkill).

Can you also extend the WARN in FNAME(sync_spte)()? Partly to help communicate
to future readers that sync_spte() operates on leaf GPTEs, and also to help make
it somewhat obvious that this patch doesn't break shadow_mmu_get_sp_for_split()

Just drop the manual check, free_page() already handles the NULL/0 case.

Hmm, I think I'd prefer to forego the helper entirely, as this really is intended
to be used only when allocating the shadow page. That way we avoid having to try
and clarify exactly what "might" means in this context, as well as potential future
goofs, e.g. if someone had the clever idea to check sp->shadowed_translation.
Oof, yeah, definitely omit the helper. It took me a minute to fully appreciate
the difference between "leaf gptes" and "gptes" as it relates to write-protecting
gfns.

And then this becomes:

And this code doesn't need to move.
