In the speculative path, we should check guest pte's reserved bits just as
the real processor does

That only works if the gpte is for the same mode as the current vcpu mmu mode. In some cases it is too strict (vcpu in pae mode writing a 32-bit gpte), which is not too bad, in some cases it is too permissive (vcpu in nonpae mode writing a pae gpte).

(once upon a time mixed modes were rare, only on OS setup, but with nested virt they happen all the time).

This is better done a few lines down where we check for !is_present_gpte(), no?
