"The must not enable interrupts before the reason is read, or it may be
overwritten by another apf".
Document the fact that disabling interrupts disables APFs.
How does the guest distinguish betweem APFs and ordinary page faults?
What's the role of cr2?
When disabling APF, all pending APFs are flushed and may or may not get
a completion.
Is a "page available" notification guaranteed to arrive on the same vcpu
that took the "page not present" fault?
