[PATCH 3/5] mmu: don't set the present bit unconditionally

From: Bandan Das
Date: Tue Jun 28 2016 - 00:34:06 EST


To support execute only mappings on behalf of L1
hypervisors, we teach set_spte() to honor L1's valid XWR
bits. This is only if host supports EPT execute only. Reuse
ACC_USER_MASK to signify if the L1 hypervisor has the R bit
set
