Yes. But maintain a list in kernel seems a little complex for it. I checked
the callings of gfn_to_hva, seems most of them are safe with a inaccurate
result(not sure about host_largepage_backed, seems this would be affected if
one 4k page was unmapped inside a large page).

It didn't work as expect. Checking it.
