That makes sense, but I think a lot of it sounds a out of the scope of
what I'm doing in this patch set.
I could attempt to update my patchset so instead of expanding the linear
region on boot, we add the page tables in arch_add_memory. That would
make more sense when considering the direction you want to head with
setup_vm.
