When sp->role.direct is set, sp->gfns does not contain any essential
information, leaf sptes reachable from this sp are for a continuous
guest physical memory range (a linear range).
So sp->gfns[i] (if it was set) equals to sp->gfn + i. (PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL)
Obviously, it is not essential information, we can calculate it when need.
It means we don't need sp->gfns when sp->role.direct=1,
Thus we can save one page usage for every kvm_mmu_page.
Note:
Access to sp->gfns must be wrapped by kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn()
or kvm_mmu_page_set_gfn().
It is only exposed in FNAME(sync_page).

When cr0.wp=0, we may shadow a gpte having u/s=1 and r/w=0 with an spte
having u/s=0 and r/w=1. This allows excessive access if the guest sets
cr0.wp=1 and accesses through this spte.
Fix by making cr0.wp part of the base role; we'll have different sptes for
the two cases and the problem disappears.
