Subject: [PATCH v3 0/3] SVM 5-level page table support

This patch set adds 5-level page table support for AMD SVM. When the
5-level page table is enabled on host OS, the nested page table for guest
VMs will use the same format as host OS (i.e. 5-level NPT). These patches
were tested with various combination of different settings and test cases
(nested/regular VMs, AMD64/i686 kernels, kvm-unit-tests, etc.)

v2->v3:
 * Change the way of building root_hpa by following the existing flow (Sean)

v1->v2:
 * Remove v1's arch-specific get_tdp_level() and add a new parameter,
   tdp_forced_root_level, to allow forced TDP level (Sean)
 * Add additional comment on tdp_root table chaining trick and change the
   PML root table allocation code (Sean)
 * Revise Patch 1's commit msg (Sean and Jim)

Thanks,
-Wei
