From: Mihai Donțu <mdontu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> There are cases where we need to emulate a CMPXCHG that touches two pages (4 in one and another 4 in the next, for example). Because it is not easy to map two pages in the kernel so that we can directly execute the exchange instruction, we fallback to single-stepping. Luckly, this is an uncommon occurrence making the overhead of the single-step mechanism acceptable.
