hm, this iterator turned out to be more complex than i thought it 
would become. Avi, are you still happy with that?

This wants to move into a set-accessed-bit helper inline.

This condition wants to move into a is-pte-large inline function.

And this would look cleaner if it was in a handle-large-pte inline function?

Btw., there's a stylistic trick you could use here to make the 
iteration logic even clearer:

		switch (ret) {
		case WALK_NEXT:						break;
		case WALK_DONE:						goto walk_done;
		case WALK_RETRY:					goto walk_retry;
		case WALK_NOT_PRESENT:	errcode |= PFERR_PRESENT_MASK;	goto error;
		case WALK_RSVD_FAULT:	errcode |= PFERR_RSVD_MASK;	goto error;
		case WALK_ERROR:					goto error;
		case WALK_ABORT:					return 0;
		}

But it's a pure matter of taste - it might not really fit into KVM 
code. Avi's call :-)

Thanks,
