Fold max_mapping_level() into kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust() now that HugeTLB mappings are handled in kvm_mmu_hugepage_adjust(), i.e. there isn't a need to pre-calculate the max mapping level. Co-locating all hugepage checks eliminates a memslot lookup, at the cost of performing the __mmu_gfn_lpage_is_disallowed() checks while holding mmu_lock. The latency of lpage_is_disallowed() is likely negligible relative to the rest of the code run while holding mmu_lock, and can be offset to some extent by eliminating the mmu_gfn_lpage_is_disallowed() check in set_spte() in a future patch. Eliminating the check in set_spte() is made possible by performing the initial lpage_is_disallowed() checks while holding mmu_lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
