    Let's make it 8 to start with... It's frightening enough.

    (8 = one cache line in both guest and host)

    Just make the ordinary topup sufficient for prefetch. If we allocate
    too much, we don't lose anything, the memory remains for the next time
    around.

    Note for shadow pages or pte chains you don't need extra pages, since
    the prefetch fits in just one shadow page. You only need extra for rmap.
