Sure, but _what_ makes it impossible to support pkeys with shadow pages?

Is it enough to add the pkey bits to the role (and then to
kvm_get_mmu_page, mmu_set_spte, set_spte) or are there fundamental problems?

The trick to handle !CR0.WP in FNAME(page_fault) (search for
"walker.pte_access &= ~ACC_USER_MASK"; it's documented in
Documentation/virtual/kvm/mmu.txt as well) should work for PKRU.

If you just want me to change it to "is not yet implemented for shadow
paging", I can do that.

Thanks,

Paolo
