So this is entirely about a 32-bit PAE guest being able to provide guest-process->guest-process isolation? This is the part I don't understand. Shouldn't the PROT_NONE mitigations have already been applied to the PTEs? That mitigation should keep them from being exploited to read other guest process's data.
