LOL, that's the spirit!

Did a cursory glance, looks good.  I'll do a more thorough pass next week and get
it queued up if all goes well.  No need for a v4 at this point, I'll fixup David's
various nits when applying.  I'll also add a link in patch 2 to the discussion
about why we determined that bypassing __tdp_mmu_set_spte() is safe; that's critical
information that isn't captured in the changelog.
