Sean Christopherson 03ca4589fa KVM: x86: Prevent KVM SVM from loading on kernels with 5-level paging
Disallow loading KVM SVM if 5-level paging is supported.  In theory, NPT
for L1 should simply work, but there unknowns with respect to how the
guest's MAXPHYADDR will be handled by hardware.

Nested NPT is more problematic, as running an L1 VMM that is using
2-level page tables requires stacking single-entry PDP and PML4 tables in
KVM's NPT for L2, as there are no equivalent entries in L1's NPT to
shadow.  Barring hardware magic, for 5-level paging, KVM would need stack
another layer to handle PML5.

Opportunistically rename the lm_root pointer, which is used for the
aforementioned stacking when shadowing 2-level L1 NPT, to pml4_root to
call out that it's specifically for PML4.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
