+ * A facility to provide lazy MMU batching.  This allows PTE updates and
+ * page invalidations to be delayed until a call to leave lazy MMU mode
+ * is issued.  Some architectures may benefit from doing this, and it is
+ * beneficial for both shadow and direct mode hypervisors, which may batch
+ * the PTE updates which happen during this window.  Note that using this
+ * interface requires that read hazards be removed from the code.  A read
+ * hazard could result in the direct mode hypervisor case, since the actual
+ * write to the page tables may not yet have taken place, so reads though
+ * a raw PTE pointer after it has been modified are not guaranteed to be
+ * up to date.  This mode can only be entered and left under the protection of
+ * the page table locks for all page tables which may be modified.  In the UP
+ * case, this is required so that preemption is disabled, and in the SMP case,
+ * it must synchronize the delayed page table writes properly on other CPUs.
