    This implementation is completely broken, which in turn means that the page state
    change code is not well tested. The mess is likely masked to some extent because
    the call is bookendeda by calls to kvm_mmu_get_tdp_walk(), i.e. most of the time
    it's not called, and when it is called, the bugs are hidden by the second walk
    detecting that the mapping was not installed.

    1. direct_page_fault() does not return a pfn, it returns the action that should
    be taken by the caller.
    2. The while() can be optimized to bail on no_slot PFNs.
    3. mmu_topup_memory_caches() needs to be called here, otherwise @pfn will be
    uninitialized. The alternative would be to set @pfn when that fails in
    direct_page_fault().
    4. The 'int' return value is wrong, it needs to be kvm_pfn_t.

    A correct implementation can be found in the TDX series, the easiest thing would
    be to suck in those patches.
