When EPT is used for nested guest we need to re-init MMU as shadow EPT MMU (nested_ept_init_mmu_context() does that). When we return back from L2 to L1 kvm_mmu_reset_context() in nested_vmx_load_cr3() resets MMU back to normal TDP mode. Add a special 'guest_mmu' so we can use separate root caches; the improved hit rate is not very important for single vCPU performance, but it avoids contention on the mmu_lock for many vCPUs. On the nested CPUID benchmark, with 16 vCPUs, an L2->L1->L2 vmexit goes from 42k to 26k cycles.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
