Can you also move the call to kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust() from
direct_map() to direct_page_fault()? I do think it's worth the
maintenence burden to keep those functions consistent.

I would prefer to keep these in tdp_mmu.c, to reduce the amount of TDP
MMU details that bleed into mmu.c (RCU) and for consistency with other
TDP MMU APIs that don't require the caller to acquire RCU.  This will
also be helpful for the Common MMU, as the tracepoint and RCU will be
common.

e.g.

static int __kvm_tdp_mmu_map(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct kvm_page_fault *fault)
{
	...
}

int kvm_tdp_mmu_map(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu, struct kvm_page_fault *fault)
{
	int r;

	trace_kvm_mmu_spte_requested(fault);

	rcu_read_lock();
	r = __kvm_tdp_mmu_map(vcpu, fault);
	rcu_read_unlock();

	return r;
}
