Managing page tables question
...s space that you will never miss) and
no pages at all. And every single page table would be at a well
defined virtual address in a 1:1 mapping to the offsets they are at.

The L4 table is pined to PIN_L4_TABLE and each entry in the L4 table
must point to a page pined to PIN_L3_TABLE. The self reference would
have the wrong pinning. I wonder if it possible to allow such a
mapping without compromising the security of the page tables.
If method 3 is impossible then it seems like method 1b is best. It
uses a small fixed amount of pages for mapping and the mach/phys
conversion...
