Allocate the so called pae_root page on-demand, along with the lm_root
page, when shadowing 32-bit NPT with 64-bit NPT, i.e. when running a
32-bit L1. KVM currently only allocates the page when NPT is disabled,
or when L0 is 32-bit (using PAE paging).
Note, there is an existing memory leak involving the MMU roots, as KVM
fails to free the PAE roots on failure. This will be addressed in a
future commit.
Fixes: ee6268ba3a68 ("KVM: x86: Skip pae_root shadow allocation if tdp enabled")
Fixes: b6b80c78af83 ("KVM: x86/mmu: Allocate PAE root array when using SVM's 32-bit NPT")

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.
