/*P:700
 * The pagetable code, on the other hand, still shows the scars of
 * previous encounters.  It's functional, and as neat as it can be in the
 * circumstances, but be wary, for these things are subtle and break easily.
 * The Guest provides a virtual to physical mapping, but we can neither trust
 * it nor use it: we verify and convert it here then point the CPU to the
 * converted Guest pages when running the Guest.

/*H:300
 * The Page Table Code
 *
 * We use two-level page tables for the Guest, or three-level with PAE.  If
 * you're not entirely comfortable with virtual addresses, physical addresses
 * and page tables then I recommend you review arch/x86/lguest/boot.c's "Page
 * Table Handling" (with diagrams!).
 *
 * The Guest keeps page tables, but we maintain the actual ones here: these are
 * called "shadow" page tables.  Which is a very Guest-centric name: these are
 * the real page tables the CPU uses, although we keep them up to date to
 * reflect the Guest's.  (See what I mean about weird naming?  Since when do
 * shadows reflect anything?)
 *
 * Anyway, this is the most complicated part of the Host code.  There are seven
 * parts to this:
 *  (i) Looking up a page table entry when the Guest faults,
 *  (ii) Making sure the Guest stack is mapped,
 *  (iii) Setting up a page table entry when the Guest tells us one has changed,
 *  (iv) Switching page tables,
 *  (v) Flushing (throwing away) page tables,
 *  (vi) Mapping the Switcher when the Guest is about to run,
 *  (vii) Setting up the page tables initially.
