Instead of fetching one byte at a time, prefetch 15 bytes (or until the next
page boundary) to avoid guest page table walks.

Theoretically used to acccess memory known to be ordinary RAM, it was
never implemented. It is questionable whether it is possible to implement
it correctly.

When we map a page, we check whether some other vcpu mapped it for us and if
so, bail out. But we should decrease the refcount on the page as we do so.

Ensure that segment.base == segment.selector << 4 when entering the real

This is a little more accurate (since it counts actual reloads, not potential

most of the other stats (e.g. we want to minimize all counters).
