(I'm sorry if this was previously discussed, I didn't look into previous
submissions).

What happens when we launch a nested guest and switch vcpu->arch.mmu to
point at arch.guest_mmu? sppt_root will point to INVALID_PAGE and SPP
won't be enabled in VMCS?

(I'm sorry again, I'm likely missing something obvious)
