I think your modification is good but I am little bit confused here. In account_shadowed, if sp->role.level > PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL, the sp->gfn is write protected, and this is reasonable. So why write protecting the gfn of PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL here?

Looks you need to merge this part with patch 1, as you are modifying kvm_page_track_{add,remove}_page here, which are introduced in your patch 1.

Thanks,
