Could you tell me how you test it? It will be better if I follow
your test steps.

I also hit the kvm_mmu_page_set_gfn BUG_ON, It is because
FNAME(fetch)() set sp->gfn wrong. The patch:
[PATCH] kvm: calculate correct gfn for small host pages which emulates large guest pages
fix it.

I can not hit kvm_mmu_page_set_gfn BUG_ON after this patch also
applied.

So could you tell me your test steps:
The host: ept/npt enabled? 64bit? testing codes in host?
The guest: OS? PAE? 32bit? 64bit? testing codes in guest?
