Actually, the new spec does support non-shadow paging. All page

normal get/set operations but they could be get/sets with p2m looks.
The first version of the spec definitely didn't support non-shadow
paging though.
I don't see any hooks for pte reads, which need m2p conversion in a
non-shadow environment.
VMI_CALL_GetPxE is the hook for pte reads I think. The documentation
refers to a SetPte function but that doesn't actually exist in the
code. Instead, I believe the pte access functions are GetPxE and SetPxE
and that they can be used for setting ptes or pmds. It's not really
documented though so I may be wrong.
And the documentation is out of whack with the code patches now I look
more closely at the mmu patch. VMI_xxxPxExxx functions are not defined
in the spec, nor is VMI_AllocatePage.
Yeah, the documentation is lacking (and wrong) in a couple of key areas.
