Subject: [RFC PATCH 2/8] KVM: x86/mmu: Use bits 2:0 to check for present SPTEs

Use what are effectively EPT's RWX bits to detect present SPTEs instead
of simply looking for a non-zero value.  This will allow using a
non-zero initial value for SPTEs as well as using not-present SPTEs to
track metadata for zapped private SPTEs.
