I check the fault address of #NPF, and it is the IDT entry address of
the guest kernel. The NPT page table is not constructed for the IDT
entry and the #NPF is generated when guest try to access IDT.

With qemu & ovmf, I didn't see the #NPF when guest invoke the int3
handler. That means the NPT page table has already been constructed, but
when?
