Do we also need to check cr0.wp?  I think so.
I think it's not too bad since we just decrease the access right, for example,
we mark the mapping readonly for cr0.wp=0's page, the later write-access will
cause #PF, and the read-access is OK.

If current cr0.wp=0 and sp->role.cr0_wp=1, that's fine, but the other way round can relax permissions too much, marking a kernel page writeable.
