-Architecture Page Table Helpers
-===============================
-
-Generic MM expects architectures (with MMU) to provide helpers to create, access
-and modify page table entries at various level for different memory functions.
-These page table helpers need to conform to a common semantics across platforms.
-Following tables describe the expected semantics which can also be tested during
-boot via CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE option. All future changes in here or the debug
-test need to be in sync.
