Add an x86-only test to verify that x86's MMU reacts to CPUID updates that impact the MMU. KVM has had multiple bugs where it fails to reconfigure the MMU after the guest's vCPU model changes. Sadly, this test is effectively limited to shadow paging because the hardware page walk handler doesn't support software disabling of GBPAGES support, and KVM doesn't manually walk the GVA->GPA on faults for performance reasons (doing so would large defeat the benefits of TDP). Don't require !TDP for the tests as there is still value in running the tests with TDP, even though the tests will fail (barring KVM hacks). E.g. KVM should not completely explode if MAXPHYADDR results in KVM using 4-level vs. 5-level paging for the guest.

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.
