From: Lai Jiangshan <jiangshan.ljs@antgroup.com>

Current code use mmu->pae_root, mmu->pml4_root, and mmu->pml5_root to
setup special roots.  The initialization code is complex and the roots
are not associated with struct kvm_mmu_page which causes the code more
complex.

So add new special shadow pages to simplify it.

The special shadow pages are associated with struct kvm_mmu_page and
VCPU-local.

The special shadow pages are created and freed when the roots are
changed (or one-off) which can be optimized but not in the patchset
since the re-creating is light way (in normal case only the struct
kvm_mmu_page needs to be re-allocated and sp->spt doens't)

Lai Jiangshan (7):
  KVM: X86/MMU: Add using_special_root_page()
  KVM: X86/MMU: Add special shadow pages
  KVM: X86/MMU: Link PAE root pagetable with its children
  KVM: X86/MMU: Activate special shadow pages and remove old logic
  KVM: X86/MMU: Remove the check of the return value of to_shadow_page()
  KVM: X86/MMU: Allocate mmu->pae_root for PAE paging on-demand
  KVM: X86/MMU: Remove mmu_alloc_special_roots()
