Looks very good to me now. :)

KVM always sets 6 without checking. But there is also a TODO left in
construct_eptp(). But we could hit this case probably only in very
strange environments (e.g. revoking it for our L1, so it cannot use WB
memory for L2). So we should be safe by requiring WB for now.
