Right, and *here* we split the 2M page on the *host* so that there's no
discrepancy between the host pagetable and the RMP. I guess your patch
does exactly that. :)
And AFAIR, set_memory.c doesn't have the functionality to coalesce 4K
pages back into the corresponding 2M page. Which means, the RMP table is
in sync, more or less.
Thx and thanks for elaborating.
