KVM: Disable SMAP for guests in EPT realmode and EPT unpaging mode
SMAP is disabled if CPU is in non-paging mode in hardware. However KVM always uses paging mode to emulate guest non-paging mode with TDP. To emulate this behavior, SMAP needs to be manually disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode. Signed-off-by: Feng Wu <feng.wu@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
