Restrict get_mt_mask() to a u8 and reintroduce using a RET0 static_call
for the SVM implementation. EPT stores the memtype information in the
lower 8 bits (bits 6:3 to be precise), and even returns a shifted u8
without an explicit cast to a larger type; there's no need to return a
full u64.
Note, RET0 doesn't play nice with a u64 return on 32-bit kernels, see
commit bf07be36cd ("KVM: x86: do not use KVM_X86_OP_OPTIONAL_RET0 for
get_mt_mask").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
