Ok, let's rewind and retry.

Please add a

BUILD_BUG_ON(!!PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_MASK != !!PT_GUEST_DIRTY_MASK);
#if PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_MASK
BUILD_BUG_ON(PT_GUEST_DIRTY_SHIFT <= PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_SHIFT);

BUILD_BUG_ON(PT_GUEST_DIRTY_MASK != (1 << PT_GUEST_DIRTY_SHIFT));
BUILD_BUG_ON(PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_MASK != (1 << PT_GUEST_ACCESSED_SHIFT));
#endif

here.

Here you can use a regular "if" instead of the preprocessor if.  Also
please move this and all other PT_GUEST_*-related changes to a separate
patch.

You can use a ?: here even for writable.  The compiler will simplify (a
& b ? b : 0) to just "a & b" for single-bit b.

This change is not needed anymore since you removed the #ifdef.

This shift is one of two things that bugged me.  I dislike including
"wrong" code just because it is dead.  Perhaps you can #define the
shifts to 8 and 9 already now, even if the masks stay 0?

Then when you implement nEPT A/D bits you only have to flip the masks
from 0 to (1 << PT_GUEST_*_SHIFT).

If we want to drop the dead-code elimination burden on the compiler,
let's go all the way.

So, instead of this "if", please make update_accessed_dirty_bits return
0 at once if PT_GUEST_DIRTY_MASK == 0; this way you can do the same
thing for protect_clean_gpte and update_accessed_dirty_bits.
