This should be replaced with a single helper to set the gfn+access.  Under no
circumstance should _just_ the gfn change, and that will allow us to optimize
writing the entry.  More below.

LOL, I realize this is not your code, but ratelimiting under a WARN ain't gonna
help much :-)

This also generates a warning and fails to compile with KVM_WERROR=y, though I
believe the test bots already reported that.

A bitfield is completely unnecessary and generates bad code.  As is, it generates
_really_ bad code because extracting and setting requires non-standard 64-bit value
masks, multiple operations, and accesses to unaligned data.  The generated code can
be made slightly less awful by using a fully byte for access and 64 bits for GFN,
but it still sucks compared to what we can hand generate.

The other aspect of this is that retrieving the GFN is a frequent operation,
whereas the access is almost never read.  I.e. we should bias for reading the GFN
above all else.

The simple and obvious thing is to not reinvent the wheel.  GFN = (GPA >> PAGE_SHIFT),
and ignoring NX, access lives in the lower 12 bits of a PTE.  Then reading the GFN is
a simple SHR, and reading access info is a simple AND.

We might also be able to optimize FNAME(sync_page), but I don't care much about
that, it's rarely used for nested TDP.

So, keep translation_entry a gfn_t *, then do:

static gfn_t kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn(struct kvm_mmu_page *sp, int index)
{
	if (!sp->role.direct)
		return sp->shadowed_translation[index] >> PAGE_SHIFT;

	return sp->gfn + (index << ((sp->role.level - 1) * PT64_LEVEL_BITS));
}

static void kvm_mmu_page_set_translation(struct kvm_mmu_page *sp, int index,
					 gfn_t gfn, unsigned int access)
{
	if (!sp->role.direct) {
		sp->shadowed_translation[index] = (gfn << PAGE_SHIFT) | access;
		return;
	}

	if (WARN_ON(gfn != kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn(sp, index)))
		pr_err_ratelimited("gfn mismatch under direct page %llx "
				   "(expected %llx, got %llx)\n",
				   sp->gfn,
				   kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn(sp, index), gfn);
}

static void kvm_mmu_page_set_access(struct kvm_mmu_page *sp, int index,
				    unsigned int access)
{
	if (sp->role.direct)
		return;

	sp->shadowed_translation[index] &= PAGE_MASK;
	sp->shadowed_translation[index] |= access;
}
