In my basic initial patch I only track the tlb flushes which should be
the minimum required to have a nice linux-VM controlled swapping

I have a vaguely related question on KVM swapping.

Do page accesses inside KVM guests get propagated to the host
OS, so Linux can choose a reasonable page for eviction, or is
the pageout of KVM guest pages essentially random?

right now when kvm remove pte from the shadow cache, it mark as access the page that this pte pointed to. it was a good solution untill the mmut notifiers beacuse the pages were pinned and couldnt be swapped to disk so now it will have to do something more sophisticated or at least mark as access every page pointed by pte
that get insrted to the shadow cache....
