Need error check.

+ mmu_guess_page_from_pte_write(vcpu, gfn_to_gpa(gfn) + offset, gentry);

This needs an undo operation to drop the page if we don't update_pte(); see the end of kvm_mmu_pte_write(). That needs to go into a helper to avoid duplication.

+ spin_lock(&vcpu->kvm->mmu_lock);
+ if (atomic_read(&vcpu->kvm->arch.invlpg_counter) == invlpg_counter&&
+ sp->role.level == PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL) {
+ ++vcpu->kvm->stat.mmu_pte_updated;
+ FNAME(update_pte)(vcpu, sp, sptep,&gentry);
+ }
+
+ spin_unlock(&vcpu->kvm->mmu_lock);
}
