Uh-oh, this has to become:

vcpu->arch.cr3 = cr3;
kvm_register_mark_dirty(vcpu, VCPU_EXREG_CR3);
if (!is_pae_paging(vcpu))
kvm_mmu_update_root(vcpu);

The regression would go away after patch 16, but this is more tidy apart
from having to check is_pae_paging *again*.

Incremental patch:

index adcee7c305ca..0085e9fba372 100644

- if (cr3 != kvm_read_cr3(vcpu))
- kvm_mmu_update_root(vcpu);
-
vcpu->arch.cr3 = cr3;
kvm_register_mark_dirty(vcpu, VCPU_EXREG_CR3);
+ if (!is_pae_paging(vcpu))
+ kvm_mmu_update_root(vcpu);
+
/* Do not call post_set_cr3, we do not get here for confidential guests. */


An alternative is to move the vcpu->arch.cr3 update in load_pdptrs.
Reviewers, let me know if you prefer that, then I'll send v3.
Paolo
