Return -1 from the get_walk() helpers if the shadow walk doesn't fill at
least one spte, which can theoretically happen if the walk hits a
not-present PDPTR. Returning the root level in such a case will cause
get_mmio_spte() to return garbage (uninitialized stack data). In
practice, such a scenario should be impossible as KVM shouldn't get a
reserved-bit page fault with a not-present PDPTR.
Note, using mmu->root_level in get_walk() is wrong for other reasons,
too, but that's now a moot point.

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.
