The simplest explanation for those options to not mark the page as
dirty in the dirty bitmap or not mark the page accessed is simply that
the legacy MMU doesn't do it, but I will outline why it doesn't more
specifically.

Let's consider dirty logging first. When getting the dirty log, we
follow the following steps:
1. Atomically get and clear an unsigned long of the dirty bitmap
2. For each GFN in the range of pages covered by the unsigned long mask:
3. Clear the dirty or writable bit on the SPTE
4. Copy the mask of dirty pages to be returned to userspace

If we mark the page as dirty in the dirty bitmap in step 3, we'll
report the page as dirty twice - once in this dirty log call, and
again in the next one. This can lead to unexpected behavior:
1. Pause all vCPUs
2. Get the dirty log <--- Returns all pages dirtied before the vCPUs were paused
3. Get the dirty log again <--- Unexpectedly returns a non-zero number
of dirty pages even though no pages were actually dirtied

I believe a similar process happens for access tracking though MMU
notifiers which would lead to incorrect behavior if we called
kvm_set_pfn_accessed during the handler for notifier_clear_young or
notifier_clear_flush_young

Fantastic, thank you!
