It looks like it can't solve all problems, it fix the access corrupted,
but will cause D bit losed:

mapping A and mapping B both are writable-and-dirty, when mapping A write
#PF occurs, the mapping is writable, then we can't set B's D bit anymore.

Anyway, i think we should re-intall the mapping when the state is changed. :-(
