This is handled when setting WIMGE in ref->flags.

Yes, one ref corresponds to one guest entry. To understand how this will work when a one guest tlb1 entry may maps to many host tlb0/1 entry; 
on guest tlbwe, KVM setup one guest tlb entry and then pre-map one host tlb entry (out of many) and ref (ref->pfn etc) points to this pre-map entry for that guest entry.
Now a guest TLB miss happens which falls on same guest tlb entry and but demands another host tlb entry. In that flow we change/overwrite ref (ref->pfn etc) to point to new host mapping for same guest mapping.

Right, we should return error :)
