This renders the previous patch obsolete, pretty much (please fold).

The idea was
How about recording the gfn number for shadow pages that have been
shadowed in the current pagefault run? (which is cheap, compared to
shadowing these pages).
If failed instruction emulation is write to one of these gfns, then
fail.
