    So all the KVM/x86 Shadow MMU-style terminology like
    "shadow_page"/"sp"/"spte" persists. Should we keep that style in
    common code or move toward something less shadow-paging-specific?
    e.g. "page_table"/"pt"/"pte".

I would strongly be in favor of discarding the shadow paging residue if
x86 folks are willing to part ways with it 😄

Yes, absolutely. Something like to_shadow_page->to_mmu_data, sp->md, spt->hpt, spte->spte, sptep->hptep.
