Can you explain why spte's must be unmapped as well ?
The memory region occupied by the structures maintaining the spte's
(kvm_mmu_page) they are also part of Linux VM. So why won't they be
swapped by Linux VM.
I didn't get the problem behind secondary MMU.

( I was going through the slides of presentation "Integrating  with
the KVM Linux Memory Management" by Andrea Arcangeli : KVM Forum 2008
