There is no real distinction between glevels=3 and glevels=4; both have

role.glevels and replace is with role.cr4_pae (which is meaningful). This
simplifies the code a bit.
As a side effect, it allows sharing shadow page tables between pae and
longmode guest page tables at the same guest page.
static int kvm_sync_page(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct kvm_mmu_page *sp)
{
- if (sp->role.glevels != vcpu->arch.mmu.root_level) {
+ if (sp->role.cr4_pae != !!is_pae(vcpu)) {
kvm_mmu_zap_page(vcpu->kvm, sp);
return 1;
}
This bit confuses me a little. Why is it needed? It will never hit
from mmu_sync_children(), and as for kvm_mmu_get_page(), it will simply
zap unrelated pages?
Is it related to the restriction that we can only unsync if we have just
one shadow page for a gfn? That's somewhat artificial (and hurts nonpae
guests, and guests with linear page tables).
