On AMD hardware when a guest causes a NFP which requires emulation,
the vcpu->arch.gpa_available flag is set to indicate that cr2 contains
a valid GPA.
Currently, emulator_read_write_onepage() makes use of gpa_available flag
to avoid a guest page walk for a known MMIO regions. Lets not limit
the gpa_available optimization to just MMIO region. The patch extends
the check to avoid page walk whenever gpa_available flag is set.
