Subject: [PATCH v2 07/15] KVM: MMU: redesign the algorithm of pte_list
Change the algorithm to:
1) always add new desc to the first desc (pointed by parent_ptes/rmap)
that is good to implement rcu-nulls-list-like lockless rmap
walking
2) always move the entry in the first desc to the the position we want
to remove when delete a spte in the parent_ptes/rmap （backward-move).
It is good for us to implement lockless rmap walk since in the current
code, when a spte is deleted from the "desc", another spte in the last
"desc" will be moved to this position to replace the deleted one. If the
deleted one has been accessed and we do not access the replaced one, the
replaced one is missed when we do lockless walk.
To fix this case, we do not backward move the spte, instead, we forward
move the entry: when a spte is deleted, we move the entry in the first
desc to that position
Both of these also can reduce cache miss
