 out_unlock:
 	if (is_tdp_mmu_root(vcpu->kvm, vcpu->arch.mmu->root_hpa))
 		read_unlock(&vcpu->kvm->mmu_lock);
 	else
 		write_unlock(&vcpu->kvm->mmu_lock);

 	return r;
 }
How about

  kvm_release_pfn_page_clean(pfnpg);
I'm not sure. I always found kvm_release_pfn_clean() ugly, because it
doesn't mark the page 'clean'. I find put_page() more correct.

Something like 'kvm_put_pfn_page()' would make more sense, but I'm so
bad at naming things that I could just as well call it 'bob()'.
That seems like a fine name to me. A little better than bob.

Thanks,
Nick
