Aren't atomic reads expensive? Doing one on every guest HPTE modification (when nobody is listening) sounds quite excessive. Wouldn't it be cheaper to just always update the bit?

It probably makes sense to make this a RESERVED mask, so that if we ever want to use another bit for host information, we can just add that to the respective mask. Also, you should probably clear the reserved bits (or bail out when set) on h_enter.
