Nitpicks below, none of them are introduced by this patch itself. In either way:

It seems FIELD_MODIFY() can be applied here if no visible constraints exist:

	FIELD_MODIFY(HCR_TWE, vcpu->arch.hcr_el2, !kvm_vcpu_should_clear_twe(vcpu));
	FIELD_MODIFY(HCR_TWI, vcpu->arch.hcr_el2, !kvm_vcpu_should_clear_twi(vcpu));

I think we probably try to depend on kvm->arch.vm_flavor instead
of !is_protected_kvm_enabled().

	struct kvm *kvm = vcpu->kvm;

	if (kvm_vm_is_protected(kvm) || kvm_vm_flavor_eq(kvm, VM_PKVM))
		vcpu_prepare_mmu(vcpu);
