Why not return !shadow_dirty_mask instead of adding a new var?

Needs some docu.
I think dirty_update isn't self explanatory name. I think
"has_test_and_clear_dirty" would be better.
If we don't flush the smp tlb don't we risk that we'll insert pages in
the unstable tree that are volatile just because the dirty bit didn't
get set again on the spte?
The first patch I guess it's a sign of hugetlbfs going a little over
the edge in trying to mix with the core VM... Passing that parameter
&need_pte_unmap all over the place not so nice, maybe it'd be possible
to fix within hugetlbfs to use a different method to walk the hugetlb
vmas. I'd prefer that if possible.
Thanks,
Andrea
