Subject: [PATCH 16/22] KVM: x86/mmu: remove redundant bits from extended role

Before the separation of the CPU and the MMU role, CR0.PG was not
available in the base MMU role, because two-dimensional paging always
used direct=1 in the MMU role.  However, now that the raw role is
snapshotted in mmu->cpu_role, CR0.PG *can* be found (though inverted)
as !cpu_role.base.direct.  There is no need to store it again in union
kvm_mmu_extended_role; instead, write an is_cr0_pg accessor by hand that
takes care of the inversion.

Likewise, CR4.PAE is now always present in the CPU role as
!cpu_role.base.has_4_byte_gpte.  The inversion makes certain tests on
the MMU role easier, and is easily hidden by the is_cr4_pae accessor
when operating on the CPU role.
