I don't really like the pattern of adding more bools and conditionals
all over the place. It makes the code harder to read and to execute.
I prefer separate functions like drop_large_spte() and
drop_large_spte_flush().
But it may be better to just drop kvm->stat, and open-code everything,
something like
if (is_large_pte(*sptep))
drop_spte(sptep)
is just as clear as drop_large_spte().

Now this is just confusing.
