SubjectRe: [PATCH V3 05/12] KVM: X86/MMU: Link PAE root pagetable with its children
The shortlog is very misleading.  This patch doesn't "Link PAE root pagetable with
its children", it adds support for creating PAE PDPTEs in order to link them into
shadow pages, but it doesn't do the actual linking.

KVM: x86/mmu: Add support for linking PAE PDPTE shadow pages

And though it's redudnant with other context, IMO it's helpful to again reiterate
why this will be used for per-vCPU (local) shadow pages, i.e. why it's _not_ used
right now.

Add support for installing PDPTEs via link_shadow_page(), PDPTEs have
different layouts than every other entry type and so need a dedicated
helper to make them.

This code will become active when a future patch activates per-vCPU
shadow pages and stops using so called "special" roots (which are
installed at root allocation, not via link_shadow_page()).

s/ignore/ignored, though it might be worth calling out that unlike 64-bit paging,
the upper bits bits are reserved (I always forget this).

/*
* Only PDPTE bits 11:9 are ignored by hardware. Unlike 64-bit paging,
* bits above the PA bits are reserved.
