[PATCH 1/13] KVM: mmu: add missing dirty page tracking cases

From: Avi Kivity
Date: Mon Feb 19 2007 - 05:22:11 EST


We fail to mark a page dirty in three cases:

- setting the accessed bit in a pte
- setting the dirty bit in a pte
- emulating a write into a pagetable

This fix adds the missing cases.
