Consider using small page to fit guest's large page mapping:

If the mapping is writable but the dirty flag is not set, we will find
the read-only direct sp and setup the mapping, then if the write #PF
occur, we will mark this mapping writable in the read-only direct sp,
now, other real read-only mapping will happily write it without #PF.

It may hurt guest's COW

Fixed by re-install the mapping when write #PF occur.

Instead of adding a new bit, can you encode the protection in the direct sp's access bits? So we'll have one sp for read-only or writeable-but-not-dirty small pages, and another sp for writeable-and-dirty small pages.
