Strongly prefer the newline here get dropped (see below).

Kind of a nit, but KVM uses "calc" for this sort of thing. There are no other
instances of "build_" to describe this behavior.

Am I alone in think that shadow_zero_check is an awful, awful name? E.g. the EPT
memtype case has legal non-zero values. Anyone object to opportunistically
renaming the function and the local shadow_zero_check to "rsvd_bits" to shorten
line lengths and move KVM one step closer to consistent naming?

One line! Aside from being against the One True Style[*], there is zero reason
for a newline here.

And I vote to drop the "mask", because (a) it's not a singular mask and (b) it's
not even a mask in all cases.

And while I'm on a naming consistency rant, s/context/mmu.

I.e. end up with:

static void calc_tdp_shadow_rsvd_bits(struct rsvd_bits_validate *rsvd_bits,
int shadow_root_level)

static void reset_tdp_shadow_rsvd_bits(struct kvm_mmu *mmu)
