If this patch is always needed, then the function should be named
something like kvm_mmu_apply_introspection_access and kvmi_tracked_gfn
should be tested from the moment it is introduced.
But the commit message says nothing about _why_ it is needed, so I
cannot guess. I would very much avoid it however. Is it just an
optimization?
