/*
* While a process runs, Xen pins its pagetables, which means that the
* hypervisor forces it to be read-only, and it controls all updates
* to it. This means that all pagetable updates have to go via the
* hypervisor, which is moderately expensive.
*
* Since we're pulling the pagetable down, we switch to use init_mm,
* unpin old process pagetable and mark it all read-write, which
* allows further operations on it to be simple memory accesses.
*
* The only subtle point is that another CPU may be still using the
* pagetable because of lazy tlb flushing. This means we need need to
* switch all CPUs off this pagetable before we can unpin it.
