Thread-topic: [PATCH] [x86_64] Fixing PGT_va_mutable and PGT_va_unknown
This patch ensures that type_info is always greater than PGT_va_unknown
if PGT_va_mutable is set.

Today, some (rare) cases (#PF in the kernel address space, such vmalloc
handling) are unnecessarily sent to the emulation code.

int ptwr_do_page_fault(struct domain *d, unsigned long addr, 
                       struct cpu_user_regs *regs)
{
    unsigned long    pfn;
...
    if ( unlikely(l2_idx >= PGT_va_unknown) )
        goto emulate; /* Urk! This L1 is mapped in multiple L2 slots! */
