Direct maps are linear translations for a section of memory, used for

Teach the mmu about this by making page->role.glevels = 0 for direct maps.
This allows direct maps to be shared among real mode and the various paging
modes.

Isnt this what happens already, since for tdp base_role.glevels is not
initialized?

Correct. I was thinking about the nested npt case, which will use role.glevels. Joerg, please incorporate this into your nnpt patchset.
