If split lock detect is enabled (warn/fatal), #AC handler calls die() when split lock happens in kernel. A sane guest should never tigger emulation on a split-lock access, but it cannot prevent malicous guest from doing this. So just emulating the access as a write if it's a split-lock access (the same as access spans page) to avoid malicous guest polluting the kernel log.
