The TDX support will need the "suppress #VE" bit (bit 63) set as the
initial value for SPTE.  To reduce code change size, introduce a new macro
SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE for the initial value for the shadow page table
entry (SPTE) and replace hard-coded value 0 for it.  Initialize shadow page
tables with their value.

The plan is to unconditionally set the "suppress #VE" bit for both AMD and
Intel as: 1) AMD hardware doesn't use this bit; 2) for conventional VMX
guests, KVM never enables the "EPT-violation #VE" in VMCS control and
"suppress #VE" bit is ignored by hardware.

Why the changes in mmu_spte_clear_track_bits and mmu_spte_clear_no_track are not handled differently for X86_64 and non X86_64 as the shadow page init below?
It seems the two functions are the common code.

I see there are different definitions of SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE for X86_64 and  non X86_64 in the following patch.
So got the answer now. : )
