Subject: [PATCH v5 0/9] KVM: fast page fault

Changlog:
This are some changes from Marcelo's review:
- drop SPTE_WRITE_PROTECT bit, now, only one bit is needed to do
  lockless update.

- always atomicly update spte if it can be updated out of mmu-lock.

- flod the judgement of tlb flush into mmu_spte_update(), make the
  code easilyer audited.

Performance result:
- autoest migration test (smp2.Fedora.16.64.migrate.with_autotest.dbench.unix):
                                                   before     after
smp2.Fedora.16.64.migrate.unix                        93      91    +2.1%
