Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH] KVM: x86: Support write protect huge pages lazily

Hi Paolo,

I plan to rework this patch and do full test. What do you think about this idea
(enable dirty logging for huge pages lazily)?

Best Regards,
Keqian

PS: As dirty log of TDP MMU has been supported, I should add more code.
