Subject: [PATCH 26/39] KVM: MMU: Add generic shadow walker

From: Avi Kivity <avi@...ranet.com>

We currently walk the shadow page tables in two places: direct map (for
real mode and two dimensional paging) and paging mode shadow.  Since we
anticipate requiring a third walk (for invlpg), it makes sense to have
a generic facility for shadow walk.

This patch adds such a shadow walker, walks the page tables and calls a
method for every spte encountered.  The method can examine the spte,
modify it, or even instantiate it.  The walk can be aborted by returning
nonzero from the method.
