Done.
My plan is to actually make this true for all page table pages so that
we can always track a page table back to its owner, but that's not part
of this patch set, and we can remove the comment when that changes.
That's part of the generic infrastructure we need to be able to survive
an uncorrectable error in a process's page table.
