What is missing to get shadow paging working with this?  I don't think 
it's particularly important (it will be pretty hard to find a GB page 
without any shadowed pages in it), but I don't like arbitrary constraints.

walk_addr() needs to change to support GB pages, did I miss it in the 
patchset?
