Xiao,

I don't see a reason why you can't create a new mapping to an unsync
page. The code already creates shadow pte entries using unsync
pagetables.

So all you need would be to kvm_sync_pages before write protecting.

Also make sure kvm_sync_pages is in place here before enabling multiple
unsync shadows, in the patch series.
