(whitespace damage, fixed)
Also, could you perhaps explain the need for that
page_table_alloc/page_table_free code? That is, I get the comment about
using 2K page-table fragments out of 4k physical page, but why this
custom allocator instead of kmem_cache? It feels like there's a little
extra complication, but it's not immediately obvious what.

We _could_ use __pte_free_tlb() here I suppose, but...

It's that ASCE limit that makes it impossible to use the generic
helpers, right?
