When sp->role.direct is set, sp->gfns does not contain any essential
information, leaf sptes reachable from this sp are for a continuous
guest physical memory range (a linear range).
So sp->gfns[i] (if it was set) equals to sp->gfn + i. (PT_PAGE_TABLE_LEVEL)
Obviously, it is not essential information, we can calculate it when need.
It means we don't need sp->gfns when sp->role.direct=1,
Thus we can save one page usage for every kvm_mmu_page.
Note:
Access to sp->gfns must be wrapped by kvm_mmu_page_get_gfn()
or kvm_mmu_page_set_gfn().
It is only exposed in FNAME(sync_page).

In current code, shadow page can become asynchronous only if one
shadow page for a gfn, this rule is too strict, in fact, we can
let all last mapping page(i.e, it's the pte page) become unsync,
and sync them at invlpg or flush tlb time.
This patch allow more page become asynchronous at gfn mapping time

Two cases maybe happen in kvm_mmu_get_page() function:
- one case is, the goal sp is already in cache, if the sp is unsync,
we only need update it to assure this mapping is valid, but not
mark it sync and not write-protect sp->gfn since it not broke unsync
rule(one shadow page for a gfn)
- another case is, the goal sp not existed, we need create a new sp
for gfn, i.e, gfn (may)has another shadow page, to keep unsync rule,
we should sync(mark sync and write-protect) gfn's unsync shadow page.
After enabling multiple unsync shadows, we sync those shadow pages
only when the new sp not allow to become unsync(also for the unsyc
rule, the new rule is: allow all pte page become unsync)

Originally VMCLEAR/VMPTRLD is called on vcpu migration. To

We drop the mmu lock between freeing memory and allocating the roots; this
allows some other vcpu to sneak in and allocate memory.
While the race is benign (resulting only in temporary overallocation, not oom)
it is simple and easy to fix by moving the freeing close to the allocation.
