When updating accessed and dirty bits, check that the new SPTE is present
before attempting to query its A/D bits. Failure to confirm the SPTE is
present can theoretically cause a false negative, e.g. if a MMIO SPTE
replaces a "real" SPTE and somehow the PFNs magically match.
Realistically, this is all but guaranteed to be a benign bug. Fix it up
primarily so that a future patch can tweak the MMU_WARN_ON checking A/D
status to fire if the SPTE is not-present.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
