Well, yes and no. It really is just setting or clearing the VMSA page
attribute. It isn't trying to update permissions for the lower VMPLs, so I
didn't want to mislabel it as a general rmpadjust function. But it's a
simple enough thing to change and if multiple VMPL levels are ever
supported it can be evaluated at that time.

Will do.

Thanks,
