made a mistake: should be:

case (true,  in_list): mitigation for multi-hit iTLB.
case (true,  not_in_list): address misalignment; guest did not turn on paging.
case (false, in_list): not possible.
case (false, not_in_list): dirty logging disabled; any other situation
KVM zaps small SPTEs in replace of a huge one.

Anyway, this is not a blocking comment. But I just don't want to leave
a mistake in the conversation.

Thanks.
