And, i think use 'spte.w=1, spte.u=0' to emulate 'guest cr0.wp=0 and gpte.w=0' is not a good way since it can completely stop user process access, but in this case, user process is usually read and kernel lazily to write, just like vdso,
it will generate a lots of #PF

As soon as the guest kernel stops writing we switch back to gpte.w=gpte.u=1 and the guest can access it completely. For the case where both the kernel and userspace use interleaved access, you are right, but I don't see a better way, do you?

To expand, we only set spte.w=1 on write faults. So if the guest only reads the page, we'll instantiate an spte with u=1 and w=0.
