Smushing these together will not work, as this code (from below)

will generate the same mmu_role for CR4.PKE=0,PKS=1 and CR4.PKE=1,PKS=1 (and
other combinations).  I.e. KVM will fail to reconfigure the MMU and thus skip
update_pkr_bitmask() if the guest toggles PKE or PKS while the other PK* bit is set.
