Assuming that you move to the host-user == guest-real memory
model, will this data structure still be needed? It would
be really nice if a guest could simply consist of a number
of vcpu structures that happen to be used from threads in the
same process address space, but I find it hard to tell if
that is realistic.
We'd still need the shadow page table data structures (or the nested
page tables pgd).

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
