What about SH_L1E_MAGIC and sh_l1e_gnp()? The latter gets used by _sh_propagate() without visible restriction to HVM. And of course every time I look at this code I wonder how we can get away with (quoting a comment) "We store 28 bits of GFN in bits 4:32 of the entry." Do we have a hidden restriction somewhere guaranteeing that guests won't have (emulated MMIO) GFNs above 1Tb when run in shadow mode? Jan
