I missed this went the stable patches went by... when backported to the
older version of kvm_mmu_set_mmio_spte_mask() in the stable kernels (4.14
and 4.19), the call should have been:

kvm_mmu_set_mmio_spte_mask(mask, mask) and not:

kvm_mmu_set_mmio_spte_mask(mask, PT_WRITABLE_MASK | PT_USER_MASK);

The call in the original upstream patch was:

kvm_mmu_set_mmio_spte_mask(mask, mask, PT_WRITABLE_MASK | PT_USER_MASK);
