Okay, let me see if I got this right. In Hyper-V Isolation VMs, when the
guest wants to make memory shared, it does":

	- Call to the Hypervisor the mark the pages shared. The
	  Hypervisor will do the RMP update and remap the pages at
	  (VTOM + pa)

	- The guest maps the memory again into its page-table, so that
	  the entries point to the correct GPA (which is above VTOM
	  now).

Or in other words, Hyper-V implements a hardware-independent and
configurable c-bit position, as the VTOM value is always power-of-two
aligned. Is that correct?
This would at least explain why there is no separate
allocation/dealloction of memory for the shared range.

Thanks,
