I think we are saying shadow PTEs here, a potential problem here is that
the shadow PTEs may disappear for some reason like recycling etc.

But we can walkaround this like:
        Keep track of guest frame's dirty bitmap in hypervisor and
update it 
if a dirty shadow PTE for VRAM is recycled. In this way we keep the lost

info though a little bit ugly.

Is this what you want? BTW, Do u agree we can assume there is no
multiple 
map of guest VRAM for now, othrewise the patch need more to do?
