Yes, and if we can do better at working out when pages should be unshadowed,
we can then perhaps get rid of the unshadow-on-user-access heuristic.
Presumably things still work though? The page will simply get re-shadowed on
next use. I suppose the guest will crash if the shadow code is unable to
unshadow the page though (e.g., because it is current base page directory).
Perhaps we should emulate the access anyway if the page cannot be
unshadowed?
