+Observations:
+- some times get extra faults with race condition.. think there is
+ a race cond with track_page and something is untracking the pages again
+- on
+
+Questions:
+- test/sevstep: why 0 then 15, arent both accesses in the first page?
+ => first code page and stack access
+- test/sevstep: why does it seem to work with event race but not without?
+ => it doesnt (anymore)
+
+Tried:
+- try invalidating tlbs (no effect, prob was already)
+
+Next steps:
+- enable single-steping with multiple page faults (only one ends up in
+ last_fault_gfn and others stay untracked)
+- try adjusting timer for single stepping
+- Try to setup the non-baseline step without apic, but remapping page
+ such that we see the relevant page faults and the gfn increment
+- need to not retrack, allow the page to get remapped
+ (return false from sevstep_uspt_track.. caller) and enable single_step,
+ THEN when interrupt hits retrack the page
+- test/sevstep: implement counter.. read program memory to see
+ how many instructions were executed on apic timer
+- add warning for high values in baseline
