kvm: x86: Set highest physical address bits in non-present/reserved S…
…PTEs Always set the 5 upper-most supported physical address bits to 1 for SPTEs that are marked as non-present or reserved, to make them unusable for L1TF attacks from the guest. Currently, this just applies to MMIO SPTEs. (We do not need to mark PTEs that are completely 0 as physical page 0 is already reserved.) This allows mitigation of L1TF without disabling hyper-threading by using shadow paging mode instead of EPT.
