I find it non-descriptive, and it reminds me of another hypervisor. I suggest 'tlp' for two-level paging.

That has its own ambiguity; without other context it reads like "two-level pagetable". Anyway, using the same term for the same thing is not a bad idea.


What annoys me about hap and hvm is that it comes from a paravirtualization viewpoint, where pv is the default model, and hardware extensions are an optional addition. With kvm it's the other way round: the base model is full virtualization, and paravirtualization is an optional add-on. I'd rather call traditional shadow paging "software-assisted paging".
