Yeah, I agree it's less ugly.  It would be nice to not duplicate that code, but
it's probably not worth the ugliness.  :-/

For your approach, can we put the out label after the success path?  Setting
mmu->root_pgd isn't wrong per se, but doing so might mislead future readers into
thinking that it's functionally necessary.
