Instead of computing the shadow page role from scratch for every new page, derive most of the information from the parent shadow page. This eliminates the dependency on the vCPU root role to allocate shadow page tables, and reduces the number of parameters to kvm_mmu_get_page(). Preemptively split out the role calculation to a separate function for use in a following commit. Note that when calculating the MMU root role, we can take @role.passthrough, @role.direct, and @role.access directly from @vcpu->arch.mmu->root_role. Only @role.level and @role.quadrant still must be overridden for PAE page directories, when shadowing 32-bit guest page tables with PAE page tables. No functional change intended.

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.
