Good catch. What do you think about this alternative definition? It
computes everything from the bit ranges.

#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_START 3
#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_END 11

#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_START PT64_SECOND_AVAIL_BITS_SHIFT
#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_END 62

#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_MASK GENMASK_ULL(MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_END, \

MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_START)
#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_MASK
GENMASK_ULL(MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_END, \

MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_START)

#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_BITS (MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_END -
MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_START + 1)
#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_BITS (MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_END -
MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_START + 1)

#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_SHIFT (MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_START - 0)
#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_SHIFT (MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_START -
MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_BITS)

#define MMIO_SPTE_GEN_MASK
GENMASK_ULL(MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_BITS + MMIO_SPTE_GEN_HIGH_BITS - 1, 0)


Thanks,

Paolo
