I think you just need to stick with it and discuss it a little more. The pattern
seems to go:
1. You comment somewhere saying you want to get rid of kvm_gfn_shared_mask()
2. I ask about how it can work
3. We don't get to the bottom of it
4. Go to step 1

I think you are seeing bad code, but the communication is leaving me seriously
confused. The rework Isaku and I were doing in the other thread still includes a
shared mask in the core MMU code, so it's still open at this point.
