Hmm, I see that future patches use put_tdp_mmu_root()/get_tdp_mmu_root(),
but the code itself isn't specific to the TDP MMU. Even if this ends up
being the only non-TDP user of get/put, I think it'd be worth making them
common helpers, e.g.

sp = to_shadow_page(*root_hpa & PT64_BASE_ADDR_MASK);
if (mmu_put_root(sp) {
if (is_tdp_mmu(...))
kvm_tdp_mmu_free_root(kvm, sp);
else if (sp->role.invalid)
kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page(kvm, sp, invalid_list);
}

I believe this will break 32-bit NPT. Or at a minimum, look weird. It'd
be better to explicitly disable the TDP MMU on 32-bit KVM, then this becomes

if (vcpu->kvm->arch.tdp_mmu_enabled) {

} else if (shadow_root_level >= PT64_ROOT_4LEVEL) {

} else {

}

May not matter in the end, but the braces aren't needed.

Why all the extra checks?

Hrm, I'm not a big fan of dropping locks in the middle of functions, but the
alternatives aren't great. :-/ Best I can come up with is

if (root)
get_tdp_mmu_root()
else
list_add();

spin_unlock();

if (root) {
free_page()
kmem_cache_free()
} else {
root = new_root;
}

return root;

Not sure that's any better.

Rather than manually unlock and return, this can be

if (root)
get_tdp_mmju_root();

spin_unlock()

if (!root)
root = alloc_tdp_mmu_root();

return root;

You could also add a helper to do the "get" along with the "find". Not sure
if that's worth the code.
