Changelog:
  correct some typos in the title/changelog.

Currently, kvm allocates some pages (e.g: bad_page/fault_page) and use them
as error indicators, it wastes memory and is not good for scalability.

Base on Avi's suggestion, in this patchset, we introduce some error codes
instead of these pages to indicate the error conditions.
