commit 112022bdb5bc372e00e6e43cb88ee38ea67b97bd upstream.
Mark NX as being used for all non-nested shadow MMUs, as KVM will set the NX bit for huge SPTEs if the iTLB mutli-hit mitigation is enabled. Checking the mitigation itself is not sufficient as it can be toggled on at any time and KVM doesn't reset MMU contexts when that happens. KVM could reset the contexts, but that would require purging all SPTEs in all MMUs, for no real benefit. And, KVM already forces EFER.NX=1 when TDP is disabled (for WP=0, SMEP=1, NX=0), so technically NX is never reserved for shadow MMUs.
