It sounds weird because all that should anyways boil down at compile
time...

I enabled DRM_I915 in config and ran bloat-o-meter against today's
master, and I don't see that much difference.

Can you please check your numbers?

Interestingly, the kvm_mmu_reset_all_pte_masks() uses GENMASK_ULL(),
which should generate the same code across versions. Maybe it's just
a noise? Rasmus, can you please take a look?

Thanks,
