Subject: [PATCH 0/6] KVM: Documentation: Update document description for
 kvm_mmu_page and kvm_mmu_page_role

When reading the KVM MMU documentation for nested virtualization, I feel
that the description of kvm_mmu_page (and kvm_mmu_page_role) has been
lagging for around 1-2 years. The descriptions for several fields in struct
kvm_mmu_page and struct kvm_mmu_page_role are missing. So I think it might
be good to add them to make it consistent with the current code.

Note that there are still some fields not added in this series:
 - kvm_mmu_page.nx_huge_page_disallowed
 - kvm_mmu_page.possible_nx_huge_page_link
 - kvm_mmu_page.hash_link
 - kvm_mmu_page.link

For the above, I thought the description might be just better to be
inlined or there is already good description inlined.
