Ok, sorry if I'm completely off base here but have you guys tried
unmapping the page from all other VMs, patching it and causing all
the VMs to refault it thereby getting the updated content? During the
patching you'd probably need to cause the #PF handler to "loop" until
patching is complete though.

I don't know whether that is even doable/makes sense - just a dumb
idea...
