Bug the VM instead of simply warning if KVM tries to split a SPTE that is
non-present or not-huge. KVM is guaranteed to end up in a broken state as
the callers fully expect a valid SPTE, e.g. the shadow MMU will add an
rmap entry, and all MMUs will account the expected small page. Returning
'0' is also technically wrong now that SHADOW_NONPRESENT_VALUE exists,
i.e. would cause KVM to create a potential #VE SPTE.
While it would be possible to have the callers gracefully handle failure,
doing so would provide no practical value as the scenario really should be
impossible, while the error handling would add a non-trivial amount of
noise.

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 reStructuredText 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.
