No, any guest page that is part of the structure. Note the structure is
not a tree, since multiple roots exist and as it may be cyclic.
I understand that it is not a tree and that in case of sharing and
aliasing, multiple roots will exist. But, how can it be cyclic ? (Are you
not considering directionality or is it because the nodes in this
structure do have pointers to the parents or there is something else as
well ?)
A page-directory entry can point at the page directory (some OSes do this).
