Subject: [PATCH 2/2] KVM: x86/mmu: Exclude the MMU_PRESENT bit from MMIO
 SPTE's generation

Drop bit 11, used for the MMU_PRESENT flag, from the set of bits used to
store the generation number in MMIO SPTEs.  MMIO SPTEs with bit 11 set,
which occurs when userspace creates 128+ memslots in an address space,
get false positives for is_shadow_present_spte(), which lead to a variety
of fireworks, crashes KVM, and likely hangs the host kernel.

Fixes: b14e28f37e9b ("KVM: x86/mmu: Use a dedicated bit to track shadow/MMU-present SPTEs")
