So this patch does two independent things as far as I can see. First it
stops reentering guest if rep instruction is done on memory and second
it drops shadow pages if access to shadowed page table is rep. Why not
separate those in different patches? BTW not entering guest periodically
increases interrupt latencies. Why not zap shadow, make page writable
and reenter the guest instead of emulation, it should be much faster (do we
care to optimize for old cpus by complicating the code anyway?).
