A recent discovery: Copy on write will cause kvm_set_spte_handler() to fixup the mapping
(instead of just invalidating it) on the assumption the guest is going to read whatever
was written.
Its possible user_mem_abort() will go and stomp on that mapping a second time, but if the
VMM triggers this at stage1, you won't have a vcpu for the update.
Thanks,
James
