Faulting a spte, and one of the levels of sptes, either


		spte-1
		spte-2
		spte-3

has present bit clear. So we're searching for a guest page to shadow, with
gfn "gfn".

If a shadow for gfn exists, but is unsync, sync guest-page ---to--> kvm
sptes.

> -		mmu_page_add_parent_pte(vcpu, sp, parent_pte);

add "gfn" (actually its "struct kvm_mmu_page *sp" pointer) to
the parent.

kvm_mmu_mark_parents_unsync relied on the links from current level all
the way to top level to mark all levels unsync, so that on guest entry,
KVM_REQ_MMU_SYNC is processed and any level is brought from guest -->
kvm pages. This now fails, because you removed "mmu_page_add_parent_pte"
(the link is not formed all the way to root).

Unless i am missing something, this is not correct.
