KVM: x86/mmu: introduce cpu_role bit for availability of PFEC.I/D
While GMET looks a lot like SMEP, it has several annoying differences. The main one is that the availability of the I/D bit in the page fault error code still depends on the host CR4.SMEP and EFER.NXE bits. If the base.cr4_smep bit of the cpu_role is (ab)used to enable GMET, there needs to be another place where the host CR4.SMEP is read from; just merge it with EFER.NXE into a new cpu_role bit that tells paging_tmpl.h whether to set the I/D bit at all.
