+- kvm->arch.mmu_lock is an rwlock. kvm->arch.tdp_mmu_pages_lock and
+ kvm->arch.mmu_unsync_pages_lock are taken inside kvm->arch.mmu_lock, and
+ cannot be taken without already holding kvm->arch.mmu_lock (typically with

Everything else is a leaf: no other lock is taken inside the critical
sections.
