Why? We old you on the previous patch version that
set_in_cr4() already does this.

Still misplaced.

How about

u_flag = cpu_has_smep ? _PAGE_USER : 0;

avoiding the repeated cpu_has_smep checks below.

I don't think you can domain_crash_synchronous() here, domain_crash()
is perhaps the only possibility (and even if it was possible, I think there
was agreement to not add new calls to the former function and always
use the latter instead).

That said I'm not certain it's a good choice at all, as Keir had already
pointed out on the first patch version.

Finally, spurious_page_fault() has two call sites, only one of which is
for faults that occurred in hypervisor context (which you seem to
assume always being the case). For the one where it's getting called
for a fault in guest context using domain_crash() is probably correct,
but an (possibly guest chosen) alternative would be to forward the
(non-spurious) fault to the guest. Again I thin Keir hinted in that
direction already in response to the first patch version.
