I'm torn, and in some ways it's not that important right now. However,
I think it makes sense to add something like "vcpu->queued_esr" as a
separate field from vcpu->fault_esr. The use case I'm thinking of is a
debugger wanting to invoke guest kernel to provide a translation for
an address not currently present in the TLB (i.e. not currently
visible to the debugger).
