AFAICT, callers of slow_virt_to_phys() don't check the value, so this doesn't
seem safe, and I'm concerned by the possibility of spurious failures given we
only retry a fixed number of times.
I think it would be better to walk the page tables, as x86 does, as that's
guaranteed to complete within a fixed bound (i.e. after we read all the levls
of table).
Thanks,
Mark.
