KVM: MMU: Make pte_list_desc fit cache lines well
We have PTE_LIST_EXT + 1 pointers in this structure and these 40/20 bytes do not fit cache lines well. Furthermore, some allocators may use 64/32-byte objects for the pte_list_desc cache. This patch solves this problem by changing PTE_LIST_EXT from 4 to 3. For shadow paging, the new size is still large enough to hold both the kernel and process mappings for usual anonymous pages. For file mappings, there may be a slight change in the cache usage. Note: with EPT/NPT we almost always have a single spte in each reverse mapping and we will not see any change by this.
