Subject: [PATCH 0/7] KVM: x86/mmu: nVMX: 5-level paging fixes and enabling

Two fixes for 5-level nested EPT bugs with a 100% fatality rate, with
a patch to enable 5-level EPT in L1 and additional clean up on top (mostly
renames of functions/variables that caused me no end of confusion when
trying to figure out what was broken).

Tested fixed kernels at L0, L1 and L2, with most combinations of EPT,
shadow paging, 4-level and 5-level.  EPT kvm-unit-tests runs clean in L0.
Nothing too stressful, but the bugs caused L2 to hang on the very first
instruction, so being able to boot is a marked improvement.

Sean Christopherson (7):
  KVM: nVMX: Use correct root level for nested EPT shadow page tables
  KVM: x86/mmu: Fix struct guest_walker arrays for 5-level paging
  KVM: nVMX: Allow L1 to use 5-level page walks for nested EPT
  KVM: nVMX: Rename nested_ept_get_cr3() to nested_ept_get_eptp()
  KVM: nVMX: Rename EPTP validity helper and associated variables
  KVM: x86/mmu: Rename kvm_mmu->get_cr3() to ->get_guest_cr3_or_eptp()
  KVM: nVMX: Drop unnecessary check on ept caps for execute-only
