Why would you want that? It's difficult to give an answer without understanding what you're doing. Notice that KVM pretty much always leaves the X bit set (__direct_map uses ACC_ALL for the pte_access parameter) so it's easy to go from your copy of the extended page tables to the original. I'm not sure if this is your problem, but perhaps you want to record in the role whether the page comes from your version or the original? The role is like the hash key, if the role is the same you get the same PTE.
