Re: [Xen-devel] Tracking changes to writable page tables

I wander if we should steal one of the OS bits in the PTE to

This would arguably be cleaner, though we've been reluctant to steal OS
bits just incase there's some OS out there that uses them all.
Yes, that would also be a solution, though it is a little nasty to steal
the AVL bits.
Alternatively, I can just add the tracking to set_pte(), assuming that
all updates come through there, but that will probably slow down page
table updates a bit, even while not checkpointing the kernel.
