    Commit 7a1638ce ("nEPT: Redefine EPT-specific link_shadow_page()",
    2013-08-05) says:
    
        Since nEPT doesn't support A/D bit, we should not set those bit
        when building the shadow page table.
    
    but this is not necessary.  Even though nEPT doesn't support A/D
    bits, and hence the vmcs12 EPT pointer will never enable them,
    we always use them for shadow page tables if available (see
    construct_eptp in vmx.c).  So we can set the A/D bits freely
    in the shadow page table.
    
    This patch hence basically reverts commit 7a1638ce.
