The KVM hypervisor mmu code requires access to the mem_type prot_pte
field when setting up page tables pointing to a device. Unfortunately,
the mem_type structure is opaque.

Add an accessor (get_mem_type_prot_pte()) to retrieve the prot_pte
value.

get_mem_type can return NULL, so you should probably pass the error through
rather than dereferencing it.
right, I guess callers can check against 0, since L_PTE_PRESENT should
always be there.
