Isn't it pointless to do this call, since earlier in mod_l3_entry() there's a 
check
preventing the last L3 entry from getting updated, while updates to other L3
don't appear to need that call in any case? And if this was needed for some
reason (e.g. the initial check wasn't there), shouldn't it be called *before*
the entry gets installed in the (possibly live) page tables?

Thanks, Jan
