If the emulation is caused by #PF and it is non-page_table writing instruction,
it means the VM-EXIT is caused by shadow page protected, we can zap the shadow
page and retry this instruction directly

The idea is from Avi


  int x86_decode_insn(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt, void *insn, int insn_len);
+bool page_table_writing_insn(struct x86_emulate_ctxt *ctxt);

Please use the usual x86_ prefix used in the emulator interface.

If mmu_is_nested() cr2 is an ngpa, we have to translate it to a gpa, no?
