What about:

+		 * We cannot do huge page mapping for indirect shadow pages,
+		 * which are found on the last rmap (level = 1) when not using
+		 * tdp; such shadow pages are synced with the page table in
+		 * the guest, and the guest page table is using 4K page size
+		 * mapping if the indirect sp has level = 1.
