Thanks! It is a better description.

I just read some interception policy in vmx.c, if EPT=1 but vmx_need_pf_intercept()
return true for some reasons/configs, #PF is intercepted. But CR3 write is not
intercepted, which means there will be an EPT fault _after_ (IIUC) the CR3 write if
the GPA of the new CR3 exceeds the guest maxphyaddr limit. And kvm queues a fault to
the guest which is also _after_ the CR3 write, but the guest expects the fault before
the write.

IIUC, it can be fixed by intercepting CR3 write or reversing the CR3 write in EPT
violation handler.

Thanks
Lai.
