If split lock detect is on (warn/fatal), #AC handler calls die() when split lock happens in kernel. Malicous guest can exploit the KVM emulator to trigger split lock #AC in kernel[1]. So just emulating the access as a write if it's a split-lock access (the same as access spans page) to avoid malicious attacking kernel. More discussion can be found [2][3].
