PDE/PTE update code uses CP ring for memory writes.
All page table entries are preallocated for now in alloc_pt().
It is made as whole because it's hard to divide it to several patches
that compile and doesn't break anything being applied separately.

I couldn't test in on SI card, so would be happy if someone could check it
there.
I wonder how this could have work as you don't set
PAGE_TABLE_BLOCK_SIZE field so each page directory entry cover only 1
page.
I think PAGE_TABLE_BLOCK_SIZE refers number of 4k pages used for PTE
entries per PDE. E.g., 1 4k page contains 512 64 bit PTEs. so if
BLOCK_SIZE is set to 1 page, each PDE points to 1 page (4k) or PTE
entries. If BLOCK_SIZE is 2, each PDE points to 2 pages (8k) or PTEs,
etc.

If so then it's ok
Yeah, minor nitpick: BLOCK_SIZE seems to be number of 4k pages in a page
directory entry minus 1.
So with a BLOCK_SIZE of 0 you get one 4K page and with a BLOCK_SIZE of 1
you get 8K, etc...
