Drop the reserved bit checks from the helper to retrieve a PTE, there's very little value in sanity checking the constructed page tables as any will quickly be noticed in the form of an unexpected #PF. The checks also place unnecessary restrictions on the usage of the helpers, e.g. if a test _wanted_ to set reserved bits for whatever reason. Removing the NX check in particular allows for the removal of the @vcpu param, which will in turn allow the helper to be reused nearly verbatim for addr_gva2gpa().

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.
