I observed 1-2 seconds faster in Windows XPSP2 ACPI bootup with total of
23 seconds.
I can;t say it is exactly caused by this patch, but anyway it simplifies
the logic and 
code w/o any additional complexity.
thx,eddie






A guest non-aligned pte write or part of pte
update will leave shadow_trap_nonpresent_pte
in spte, which expects a new VM Exit at next
access time.

This patch fixed this by reading guest pte
in advance and thus be able to update spte
and reduce next VM Exit.
