A fence could also indicate a concurrent modification of the page table. 
For example a PTB may be allocated and initialized concurrently, not in 
direct mode. Would direct mode need to wait for a fence that indicates 
completion of the PTB initialization? Or do we have some way to ensure 
such concurrent allocation and initialization of a PTB cannot happen?
