If a pagetable contains a writeable large spte, all of its sptes will be
write protected, including non-leaf ones, leading to endless pagefaults.
Do not write protect pages above PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL, as the spte fault
paths assume non-leaf sptes are writable.

In case of a nested page fault or an intercepted #PF newer SVM
implementations provide a copy of the faulting instruction bytes
in the VMCB.
Use these bytes to feed the instruction emulator and avoid the costly
guest instruction fetch in this case.

emulate_instruction had many callers, but only one used all
parameters. One parameter was unused, another one is now
hidden by a wrapper function (required for a future addition
anyway), so most callers use now a shorter parameter list.

Large page information has two elements but one of them, write_count, alone
is accessed by a helper function.
This patch replaces this helper function with more generic one which returns
newly named kvm_lpage_info structure and use it to access the other element
rmap_pde.

It's the speculative path if 'no_apf = 1' and we will specially handle this
speculative path in the later patch, so 'prefault' is better to fit the sense.

One more "KVM: MMU: Don't drop accessed bit while updating an spte."
Sptes are accessed by both kvm and hardware.
This patch uses update_spte() to fix the way of removing write access.

Currently page fault cr2 and nesting infomation are carried outside
the fault data structure. Instead they are placed in the vcpu struct,
which results in confusion as global variables are manipulated instead
of passing parameters.
Fix this issue by adding address and nested fields to struct x86_exception,
so this struct can carry all information associated with a fault.

Tracing 'async' and *pfn is useless, since 'async' is always true,
and '*pfn' is always "fault_pfn'
We can trace 'gva' and 'gfn' instead, it can help us to see the
life-cycle of an async_pf

This can happen in the following scenario:

set writable spte
use writable spte
set read-only spte

Send async page fault to a PV guest if it accesses swapped out memory.
Guest will choose another task to run upon receiving the fault.
Allow async page fault injection only when guest is in user mode since
otherwise guest may be in non-sleepable context and will not be able
to reschedule.
Vcpu will be halted if guest will fault on the same page again or if
vcpu executes kernel code.

When page is swapped in it is mapped into guest memory only after guest
tries to access it again and generate another fault. To save this fault
we can map it immediately since we know that guest is going to access
the page. Do it only when tdp is enabled for now. Shadow paging case is
more complicated. CR[034] and EFER registers should be switched before
doing mapping and then switched back.
