[PATCH] paravirt: fix missing pte update
The function ptep_get_and_clear uses an atomic instruction sequence to get and
clear an active pte. Rather than add such an atomic operator to all virtual
machine implementations in paravirt-ops, it is easier to support the raw
atomic sequence and use either a trapping writable pagetable approach, or a
post-update notification. For the post update notification, we require the
pte_update function to be called after the access. Combine the 2-level and
3-level paging operators into one common function which does the post-update
notification, and rename the actual atomic sequences to raw_ptep_xxx
operators.
