While the guest runs, EFER.LME cannot change unless CR0.PG is clear, and
therefore EFER.NX is the only bit that can affect the MMU role. However,
set_efer accepts a host-initiated change to EFER.LME even with CR0.PG=1.
In that case, the MMU has to be reset.

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.
