Yes.  The HAP code had introduced its own pagetable-walking routines
which were missing some logic; they were merged with the original
shadow-code pagetable walker.

What exactly are you trying to do?  For most purposes the function you
need is paging_gva_to_gfn(), which will find and walk the guest's
pagetables for you, and figure out the pagefault error code if you need
to inject a pagefault.

Tim.
