For radix guests, this makes KVM map guest memory as individual pages
when dirty page logging is enabled for the memslot corresponding to the
guest real address. Having a separate partition-scoped PTE for each
system page mapped to the guest means that we have a separate dirty
bit for each page, thus making the reported dirty bitmap more accurate.
Without this, if part of guest memory is backed by transparent huge
pages, the dirty status is reported at a 2MB granularity rather than
a 64kB (or 4kB) granularity for that part, causing userspace to have
to transmit more data when migrating the guest.
