Hi,

Currently during start dirty logging, if we're with init-all-set,
we write protect huge pages and leave normal pages untouched, for
that we can enable dirty logging for these pages lazily.

Actually enable dirty logging lazily for huge pages is feasible
too, which not only reduces the time of start dirty logging, also
greatly reduces side-effect on guest when there is high dirty rate.

Thanks,
Keqian

Changelog:

v3:
 - Discussed with Ben and delete RFC comments. Thanks.
