Do you mean we should add a field like async_page_fault to
kvm_vcpu_events::exception, then saves arch.exception.async_page_fault
to events->exception.async_page_fault through KVM_GET_VCPU_EVENTS and
restores events->exception.async_page_fault to
arch.exception.async_page_fault through KVM_SET_VCPU_EVENTS?
