kvm_mmu_pte_write() does not handle 32-bit non-PAE large page backed guests properly. It will instantiate two 2MB sptes pointing to the same physical 2MB page when a guest large pte update is trapped.
Instead of duplicating code to handle this, disallow directory level updates to happen through kvm_mmu_pte_write(), so the two 2MB sptes emulating one guest 4MB pte can be correctly created by the page fault handling path.
