FWIW, I don't like how pgtable_alloc_addr() looks in practice. It reads
like it is: "allocate a page table address", not "allocate a page
table". I don't have a better suggestion other than having:

	pgtable_alloc()

that returns a page table pointer, a void*, and:

	ptdesc_alloc()

which returns a ptdesc*. But I suspect that would get confusing at the
point that ptdescs _themselves_ start getting allocated.
