About performance - I actually believe that it is possible to implement

How would VMI allow page table batching at fault time?
(one of the future optimizations that are probably worth
making for Xen)
This is exactly what we do. All page table transitions from P->NP or
P->P already require a flushing call (FlushTLB or InvalPage). The
remaining transitions, NP->P require explicit flushing, and we have
added the appropriate call sites to do so. It turns out, the external
MMU cache on Sparc provided exactly the required hook point in this case
- update_mmu_cache().
