SMAP is disabled if CPU is in non-paging mode in hardware.
However KVM always uses paging mode to emulate guest non-paging
mode with TDP. To emulate this behavior, SMAP needs to be
manually disabled when guest switches to non-paging mode.

Why not

hw_cr4 &= ~(X86_CR4_SMEP | X86_CR4_SMAP);

?

Sure, your suggestion is cleaner, I will change it in the next version, thanks for the comments!
