Thanks for your suggestion, i will pay more attention on it in the
further.

For this patch, what did you mean of "those"? You mean the whole
rmap.PTE_LIST_WP_BIT (fast check for shadow page table write protection
and host write protection) or just about host_page_write_protect
(for KSM only)?

If we do not have rmap.PTE_LIST_WP_BIT, there may have regression on
shadow mmu.

Hmm, do i need implement rmap.PTE_LIST_WP_BIT, then fast page fault?
