Ok. My patchkit handles both mprotect and swap entries. You're right
we don't need it for swap entries and could use the inversion
there.
I was talking about mprotect though.
We need to handle mprotect (and potentially also non lazy fault mmap PROT_NONE)
because if we're in a guest setting something to PROT_NONE allows to bypass EPT temporarily, so you could suddenly see the values of some other guest pages.
What's your opinion on that case?
