Implement lazy MMU update hooks which are SMP safe for both direct and
shadow page tables. The idea is that PTE updates and page invalidations
while in lazy mode can be batched into a single hypercall. We use this
in VMI for shadow page table synchronization, and it is a win. It also
can be used by PPC and for direct page tables on Xen.
For SMP, the enter / leave must happen under protection of the page table
locks for page tables which are being modified. This is because otherwise,
you end up with stale state in the batched hypercall, which other CPUs can
race ahead of. Doing this under the protection of the locks guarantees
the synchronization is correct, and also means that spurious faults which
are generated during this window by remote CPUs are properly handled, as
the page fault handler must re-check the PTE under protection of the same
lock.
