Xen has a pte update function which will update a pte while preserving
its accessed and dirty bits. This means that ptep_modify_prot_start() can be
implemented as a simple read of the pte value. The hardware may
update the pte in the meantime, but ptep_modify_prot_commit() updates it while
preserving any changes that may have happened in the meantime.
The updates in ptep_modify_prot_commit() are batched if we're currently in lazy
mmu mode.
The mmu_update hypercall can take a batch of updates to perform, but
this code doesn't make particular use of that feature, in favour of
using generic multicall batching to get them all into the hypervisor.
The net effect of this is that each mprotect pte update turns from two
expensive trap-and-emulate faults into they hypervisor into a single
hypercall whose cost is amortized in a batched multicall.

When operating on an unpinned pagetable (ie, one under construction or
destruction), it isn't necessary to use a hypercall to update a
pud/pmd entry. Jan Beulich observed that a similar optimisation
avoided many thousands of hypercalls while doing a kernel build.
One tricky part is that early in the kernel boot there's no page
structure, so we can't check to see if the page is pinned. In that
case, we just always use the hypercall.

Non-PAE operation has been deprecated in Xen for a while, and is
rarely tested or used. xen-unstable has now officially dropped
non-PAE support. Since Xen/pvops' non-PAE support has also been
broken for a while, we may as well completely drop it altogether.
