You don't need a new page permission (see below).

Setting the DBM bit is equivalent to marking the page writable. The
actual writable pte bit (S2AP[1] or HAP[2] as we call them in Linux for
legacy reasons) tells you whether the page has been dirtied but it is
still writable if you set DBM. Doing this in stage2_wp_ptes()
practically means that you no longer have read-only pages at S2. There
are several good reasons why you don't want to break this. For example,
the S2 pte may already be read-only for other reasons (CoW).
I think you should only set the DBM bit if the pte was previously
writable. In addition, any permission change to the S2 pte must take
into account the DBM bit and clear it while transferring the dirty
status to the underlying page. I'm not deeply familiar with all these
callbacks into KVM but two such paths are kvm_unmap_hva_range() and the
kvm_mmu_notifier_change_pte().

That's wrong here. Basically for any fault you get, you just turn the S2
page writable. The point of DBM is that you don't get write faults at
all if you have a writable page. So, as I said above, only set the DBM
bit if you stored a writable S2 pte (kvm_s2pte_mkwrite()).
