Yes, the host is emulating this so the pages need to be in the shared
region. However this is only for realms, for a normal guest this
functions obviously aren't "sharing" with anything - so perhaps dropping
the 'shared' part makes sense.

sz is a minimum of ITS_ITT_ALIGN*2-1 - which is 511 bytes. So
potentially PAGE_SIZE-512 bytes could be wasted here (minus kmalloc
overhead).

Indeed, the cast is pointless. I'll remove.
