Ah I did suggest it, but I meant _exact_ physical address :) The one
matching the effective address you gave it.

As it is now, the physical address is truncated at the small page size,
so if you do that you might as well just keep it as a pfn and no change
to callers.

I would also prefer getting the pfn as above rather than constructing a
new pte, which is a neat hack but is not a normal pattern.

Thanks,
Nick
