Explicitly zero out quadrant and invalid instead of inheriting them from
the root_mmu. Functionally, this patch is a nop as we (should) never
set quadrant for a direct mapped (EPT) root_mmu and nested EPT is only
allowed if EPT is used for L1, and the root_mmu will never be invalid at
this point.
Explicitly setting flags sets the stage for repurposing the legacy
paging bits in role, e.g. nxe, cr0_wp, and sm{a,e}p_andnot_wp, at which
point 'smm' would be the only flag to be inherited from root_mmu.

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.
