Yes.

But FNAME(get_sp_gpa) is still needed by FNAME(sync_page) path which sync
all sptes. I will introduce get_spte_gpa() as you mentioned which will be
used in invlpg path and in the later patch.

Sorry. how to do that?

But if you want to remove the unnecessary workload, i will change it
like this:

static gpa_t FNAME(get_sp_gpa)(struct kvm_mmu_page *sp)
{
	int offset = 0;

#if PTTYPE == 32
	int shift;

	shift = PAGE_SHIFT - (PT_LEVEL_BITS - PT64_LEVEL_BITS) * sp->role.level;
	offset = sp->role.quadrant << shift;
#endif
	return gfn_to_gpa(sp->gfn) + offset;
}
