[PATCH 6/9] KVM: MMU: Add missing dirty bit
From: Avi Kivity
Date: Fri Jan 05 2007 - 02:56:05 EST
If we emulate a write, we fail to set the dirty bit on the guest pte, leading
the guest to believe the page is clean, and thus lose data. Bad.
Fix by setting the guest pte dirty bit under such conditions.
