Several worries here, mostly that if the generic code ever changes
(something gets added to get_page() that makes it no-longer safe for use
in real mode for example, or some other condition gets added to
put_page()), we go out of sync and potentially end up with very hard and
very subtle bugs.
It might be worth making sure that:
- This is reviewed by some generic VM people (and make sure they
understand why we need to do that)
- A comment is added to get_page() and put_page() to make sure that if
they are changed in any way, dbl check the impact on our
realmode_get_page() (or "ping" us to make sure things are still ok).
Cheers,
Ben.
