Subject[PATCH] KVM: mmu: allow page tables to be in read-only slots
Date
Page tables in a read-only memory slot will currently cause a triple
fault because the page walker uses gfn_to_hva and it fails on such a slot.

OVMF uses such a page table; however, real hardware seems to be fine with
that as long as the accessed/dirty bits are set. Save whether the slot
is readonly, and later check it when updating the accessed and dirty bits.

CCing to stable@ since the regression was introduced with
support for readonly memory slots.
