change the dirty page tracking to work with dirty bity instead of

right now the dirty page tracking work with the help of page faults,
when we
want to track a page for being dirty, we write protect it and we mark
it dirty
when we have write page fault, this code move into looking at the
dirty bit
of the spte.
I'm concerned about performance during the later stages of live
migration. Even if only 1000 pages are dirty, you still have to look
at 2,000,000 or more ptes (for an 8GB guest). That's a lot of overhead.
I think we need to use the page table hierarchy, write protect the
upper page table so we know which page tables we need to look at.
Great idea, so i add another bitmap for the page directory?
+static int vmx_dirty_bit_support(void)
+{
+ return false;
+}
It's false only when ept is enabled.
Yea, that i found out already....
