Just being curious. AMD APM table 15-37 "RMP Page Assignment Settings" shows
Immuable bit is "don't care" when a page is owned by the hypervisor. The
table 15-39 "RMP Memory Access Checks" shows the hardware will do
"Hypervisor-owned" check for host data write and page table access. I suppose
"Hypervisor-owned" check means HW will check if the RMP entry is configured
according to the table 15-37 (Assign bit = 0, ASID = 0, Immutable = X)

None of them mentions that Immutable bit in the related RMP-entry should
be 1 for hypervisor-owned page.

I can understand 1) 2). Can you explain more about 3)?
