The KVM page fault handler handles page fault occurring while using
the KVM address space by switching to the kernel address space and
retrying the access (except if the fault occurs while switching
to the kernel address space). Processing of page faults occurring
while using the kernel address space is unchanged.
Page fault log is cleared when creating a vm so that page fault
information doesn't persist when qemu is stopped and restarted.
The KVM module parameter page_fault_stack can be used to disable
dumping stack trace when a page fault occurs while using the KVM
address space. The fault will still be reported but without the
stack trace.
