Subject: [PATCH 0/3] KVM: x86/mmu: kvm_mmu_page cleanups

Patch 1 is from Jia He to remove a defunct boolean from kvm_mmu_page
(link[*] below if you want to take it directly).

Patch 2 builds on that patch to micro-optimize the TDP MMU flag.

Patch 3 is another micro-optimization that probably doesn't buy much
performance (I didn't check), feel free to ignore it.

[*] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210830145336.27183-1-justin.he@arm.com

Jia He (1):
  KVM: x86/mmu: Remove unused field mmio_cached in struct kvm_mmu_page

Sean Christopherson (2):
  KVM: x86/mmu: Relocate kvm_mmu_page.tdp_mmu_page for better cache
    locality
  KVM: x86/mmu: Move lpage_disallowed_link further "down" in
    kvm_mmu_page
