We can get the large mapping pte in the loop:

static bool shadow_walk_okay(struct kvm_shadow_walk_iterator *iterator)
{
	if (iterator->level < PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL)
		return false;

	if (iterator->level == PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL)
		if (is_large_pte(*iterator->sptep))
			return false;

	......
}

if level > 1 and pte.pse is set, it will return true.

And, i think this judgment is useless:
	if (iterator->level == PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL)
		if (is_large_pte(*iterator->sptep))
			return false;
since if level = 1, the pte bit7 is PAT.
