This patch seems only to introduce another wrapper around
kvm_read_guest_page_mmu(), so I don't see a problem in this patch.

By patch 3, ptep_user will be computed in this function and no longer available for setting the accessed bit later on.

The kvm_read_guest_page_mmu takes care whether it gets a l1-gfn or
l2-gfn (by calling mmu->translate_gpa).

But cmpxchg_gpte() does not.
