Subject[PATCH 1/9] KVM: x86: remvoe unnecessary mark_page_dirty
fix:
[ 132.474633] 3.5.0-rc1+ #50 Not tainted
[ 132.474634] -------------------------------
[ 132.474635] include/linux/kvm_host.h:369 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
[ 132.474636]
[ 132.474636] other info that might help us debug this:
[ 132.474636]
[ 132.474638]
[ 132.474638] rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 1
[ 132.474640] 1 lock held by qemu-kvm/2832:

Actually, we do not write vcpu->arch.time at this time, mark_page_dirty should
be removed
