Sean Christopherson c5f2d5645f KVM: x86/mmu: Add helper to convert root hpa to shadow page
Add a dedicated helper for converting a root hpa to a shadow page in
anticipation of using a "dummy" root to handle the scenario where KVM
needs to load a valid shadow root (from hardware's perspective), but
the guest doesn't have a visible root to shadow.  Similar to PAE roots,
the dummy root won't have an associated kvm_mmu_page and will need special
handling when finding a shadow page given a root.

Opportunistically retrieve the root shadow page in kvm_mmu_sync_roots()
*after* verifying the root is unsync (the dummy root can never be unsync).

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.
