kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() does not use rmap but the debug code says:
	rmap_printk("rmap_write_protect: spte %p %llx\n", sptep, *sptep);

It was not in kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access() before, no?

This patch says that the write protection code becomes commonly usable
function, but it still has rmap_write_protect specific debug code in it;
using it in kvm_mmu_slot_remove_write_access(), which is not at all related
to rmap_write_protect, is strange.

As you say, this is just debug code and does not have any practical problem.
But randomly putting debug code is not a good thing.
