Do we also need to check cr0.wp?  I think so.

Please move the checks to mmu_pte_write_new_pte(), it's a more logical 
place.

It means the reserved bits check happens multiple times, but that's ok.

Also, you can use arch.mmu.base_role to compare:

     static const kvm_mmu_page_role mask = { .level = -1U, .cr4_pae = 1, 
... };

     if ((sp->role.word ^ base_role.word) & mask.word)
          return;

Eventually we have to reduce the number of paths.  But lets fix things 
first.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
signature is too narrow to contain.
