Because updating the VM while it is busy is perfectly fine, we do it all
the time.
We should just not update it when it is already idle and was considered
for eviction. In this situation it makes most of the time sense to keep
it idle and postpone the update till the next command submission.

Well as I said it's irrelevant for the update if the VM is idle or not.
To summarize the rules once more:
1. When VM page tables are used by CS or page tables updates it is
considered busy, e.g. not idle.
2. When we want to evict a VM it must be idle. As soon as we considered
this we should set the evicted flag to make sure to keep it idle as much
as possible.
3. When we want to update the page tables we just need to check if the
VM is idle or not.
4. When a CS happens we don't have another chance and make the VM busy
again. And do all postponed page table updates.

Christian.
