    KVM: x86/mmu: Drop smep_andnot_wp check from "uses NX" for shadow MMUs · 18feaad3
    Sean Christopherson authored
    Drop the smep_andnot_wp role check from the "uses NX" calculation now
    that all non-nested shadow MMUs treat NX as used via the !TDP check.
    
    The shadow MMU for nested NPT, which shares the helper, does not need to
    deal with SMEP (or WP) as NPT walks are always "user" accesses and WP is
    explicitly noted as being ignored:
    
      Table walks for guest page tables are always treated as user writes at
      the nested page table level.
    
      A table walk for the guest page itself is always treated as a user
      access at the nested page table level
    
      The host hCR0.WP bit is ignored under nested paging.
