I don't like this sprinkling of SNP-special stuff that needs to be done,
around the tree. Instead, pls define a function called
snp_prep_memory(unsigned long pa, unsigned int num_pages, enum operation);
or so which does all the manipulation needed and the callsites only
simply unconditionally call that function so that all detail is
extracted and optimized away when not config-enabled.
Thx.
