I guess we could just leave the page tables around and they would get
populated again if and when the guest is reset (i,e., when it goes back
to non-secure mode)

However it appeared cleaner to cleanup the page tables given that aren't
in user any longer.

There isn't a very good reason for freeing code to be not part of this patch.
I just put that in reset patch (6/8) where there is code for reinitializing
page tables again.
