6Architecture Page Table Helpers
7===============================

9Generic MM expects architectures (with MMU) to provide helpers to create, access
10and modify page table entries at various level for different memory functions.
11These page table helpers need to conform to a common semantics across platforms.
12Following tables describe the expected semantics which can also be tested during
13boot via CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE option. All future changes in here or the debug
14test need to be in sync.
