Use of kmap_atomic disables preemption but if we run in shadow-shadow mode the vmrun emulation executes kvm_set_cr3 which might sleep or fault.

kunmap() takes a struct page *, not the virtual address (a consistent source of bugs).
kmap() is generally an unloved interface, it is slow and possibly deadlock prone, but it's better than sleeping in atomic context. If you can hack your way around it, that is preferred.
