Marcelo,

The issue which we try to fix in this patch is we mark the page dirty in speculative
path, i'm not sure that after Lai's patch this bug is gone, if it's true, this patch
is not needed anymore, otherwise the later patch is the cheaper way help us to fix this
issue.

In the later patch, we use pte.a to track whether the speculative mapping is accessed,
if it's accessed, we mark the page dirty, just like tracking page-accessed.
