Thread-topic: [Xen-devel][PATCH]Provide 3 times continously writes check and unshadow the guest page
We have tried 4 other than 3 before just for Kernel build test, and we just 
noticed it will not improve the kernel build for ia32e guest so much. But at 
that time we didn't test for other benchmark. So we will have another try to 
see whether high numbers will be helpful. Thanks.

Thanks
Xiaohui
