Subject: [PATCH v2 0/6] KVM: x86/mmu: refine memtype related mmu zap

This series refines mmu zap caused by EPT memory type update.

The first 3 patches will only do mmu zap when the target is to update
memory type of EPT entries by introducing a help in patch 1 to skip
non-EPT cases.

The 4th patch will trigger zapping of EPT leaf entries if non-coherent
DMA devices count goes from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0.

The 5th-6th patches reduces EPT zap count by introducing a per-VM based
guest MTRR and only zap EPT entries when this per-VM based guest MTRR
changes.

Changelog:
v1 --> v2:
1. Added a helper to skip non EPT case in patch 1
2. Added patch 2 to skip mmu zap when guest CR0_CD changes if EPT is not
   enabled. (Chao Gao)
3. Added patch 3 to skip mmu zap when guest MTRR changes if EPT is not
   enabled.
4. Do not mention TDX in patch 4 as the code is not merged yet (Chao Gao)
5. Added patches 5-6 to reduce EPT zap during guest bootup.
