Use the calculated role as-is when propagating it to kvm_mmu.mmu_role, i.e. stop masking off meaningful fields. The concept of masking off fields came from kvm_mmu_pte_write(), which (correctly) ignores certain fields when comparing kvm_mmu_page.role against kvm_mmu.mmu_role, e.g. the current mmu's access and level have no relation to a shadow page's access and level. Masking off the level causes problems for 5-level paging, e.g. CR4.LA57 has its own redundant flag in the extended role, and nested EPT would need a similar hack to support 5-level paging for L2. Opportunistically rework the mask for kvm_mmu_pte_write() to define the fields that should be ignored as opposed to the fields that should be checked, i.e. make it opt-out instead of opt-in so that new fields are automatically picked up. While doing so, stop ignoring "direct". The field is effectively ignored anyways because kvm_mmu_pte_write() is only reached with an indirect mmu and the loop only walks indirect shadow pages, but double checking "direct" literally costs nothing.

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.
