Actually, this is dangerous. If we use the dirty bit for other
things, we will get data corruption.
For example we might want to map clean host pages as writeable-clean
in the spte on a read fault so that we don't get a page fault when
they get eventually written.
Another example - we can use the dirty bit for dirty page loggging.
So I think we can get away with a conditional tlb flush - only flush if
the page was dirty. That should be rare after the first pass, at least
with small pages.
