"host" will be confusing if when the primary MMU is involved though, e.g. I always think of the primary MMU's page tables as the "host page tables". What if we keep the "S" for SPT(E) and repurpose it to mean Secondary PTE? _______________________________________________ kvmarm mailing list kvmarm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm
