Currently when we emulate a locked operation into a shadowed guest page table, we perform a write rather than a true atomic. This is indicated by the "emulating exchange as write" message that shows up in dmesg. In addition, the pte prefetch operation during invlpg suffered from a race. This was fixed by removing the operation. This patchset fixes both issues and reinstates pte prefetch on invlpg.
