Well, this has always been supported until your previous patch. In 
general, we try to not break thing in a middle of the series so we can 
still bisect it.
I think this patch can be simplified a lot by mapping the two page 
contiguously (see my previous answer). With that it would be feasible to 
fold this patch in #1.

I think this can be moved outside of the first if.

I don't think you need the temporary variable. You can directly update 
page[0] as it is protected by the lock. The nice benefits is you could 
take advantage of a common helper to cleanup and reduce the complexity 
of the code.

v->arch.runstate_guest.page[0] would be NULL as you set it afterwards. 
So you want to set v->arch.runstate_guest.page[0] beforehand.
