The write protect verification in set_spte is unnecessary for page sync.
Its guaranteed that, if the unsync spte was writable, the target page
does not have a write protected shadow (if it had, the spte would have
been write protected under mmu_lock by rmap_write_protect before).
Same reasoning applies to mark_page_dirty: the gfn has been marked as
dirty via the pagefault path.
The cost of hash table and memslot lookups are quite significant if the
workload is pagetable write intensive resulting in increased mmu_lock
contention.

The page fault path can use two rmap_desc structures, if:

- mmu_lock is dropped, sptes are zapped resulting in rmap_desc being

- fetch->mmu_set_spte allocates another rmap_desc.

We currently walk the shadow page tables in two places: direct map (for
real mode and two dimensional paging) and paging mode shadow. Since we
anticipate requiring a third walk (for invlpg), it makes sense to have
a generic facility for shadow walk.
This patch adds such a shadow walker, walks the page tables and calls a
method for every spte encountered. The method can examine the spte,
modify it, or even instantiate it. The walk can be aborted by returning
nonzero from the method.

When an event (such as an interrupt) is injected, and the stack is
shadowed (and therefore write protected), the guest will exit. The
current code will see that the stack is shadowed and emulate a few
instructions, each time postponing the injection. Eventually the
injection may succeed, but at that time the guest may be unwilling
to accept the interrupt (for example, the TPR may have changed).
This occurs every once in a while during a Windows 2008 boot.
Fix by unshadowing the fault address if the fault was due to an event
injection.
