This translation is indeed the most confusing part for me. When 'entry' appears
on its own, I previously tended to translate it as '表项'.  However, I noticed
that other Chinese documents have used '条目', so I reused their translation.
In our context, though, I believe 'page table entries' and 'entry' are better
translated as'页表项' and '表项' respectively.

How about exec s/页表条目/页表项 and s/条目/表项.

Thanks,
Pengyu
