Update the PML table without mapping and unmapping the page. This also
avoids using kvm_vcpu_gpa_to_page(..) which assumes that there is a "struct
page" for guest memory.

v1 -> v2:
- Use kvm_write_guest_page instead of kvm_write_guest (pbonzini)
- Do not use pointer arithmetic for pml_address (pbonzini)

So we've written to the page but released it as clean ... shouldn't that
have been kvm_release_page_dirty?

... also, shouldn't there have been a mark_page_dirty() ?
(to mark it dirty for migration?)

Your patch certainly fixes both conditions (if it was in fact broken).
In that case, we should maybe add that to the cover letter.
