[PATCH][RFC]Remove lock on first guest table walk
...above two operations are observed within the race
window, it indicates possiblity that previous walk result
may be inaccurate and re-check is requried. If mismatch,
simply return to trigger another fault.
I made some experiment to sample perfc count for kernel
compile:
<64bit guest>
3.7% of gwalks are re-checked
For re-check, 68% comes from write permission removal
<32bit pae guest>
7.2% of gwalks are re-checked
For re-check, 54.9% comes from write permission removal
Actually previous fast emulation optimization already skip
lots of guest table walks, and thus above ratio can be
small...
