From: Mihai Donțu <mdo...@bitdefender.com>
There are cases where we need to emulate a CMPXCHG that touches two
pages (4 in one and another 4 in the next, for example). Because it
is not easy to map two pages in the kernel so that we can directly
execute the exchange instruction, we fallback to single-stepping.
Luckly, this is an uncommon occurrence making the overhead of the
single-step mechanism acceptable.
