Use the MMU's role to get CR4.PSE when determining the last level at which the guest _cannot_ create a non-leaf PTE, i.e. cannot create a huge page. Note, the existing logic is arguably wrong when considering 5-level paging and the case where 1gb pages aren't supported. In practice, the logic is confusing but not broken, because except for 32-bit non-PAE paging, bit 7 (_PAGE_PSE) bit is reserved when a huge page isn't supported at that level. I.e. setting bit 7 will terminate the guest walk one way or another. Furthermore, last_nonleaf_level is only consulted after KVM has verified there are no reserved bits set. All that confusion will be addressed in a future patch by dropping last_nonleaf_level entirely. For now, massage the code to continue the march toward using mmu_role for (almost) all MMU computations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
