"Three-Letter Acronym". I love "TLA" because the very fact that one has
to ask what it means, shows why using them makes it harder to communicate. :)

As for alternatives, here I'll demonstrate that "GTP" actually is probably
better than anything else I can come up with, heh. Brainstorming:

     * GPN ("Guest pfn to pfn")
     * GTPN (similar, but with a "T" for "to")
     * GFNC ("guest frame number conversion")

ugggh. :)
