This is closer, but page table entries will be 64 bits not 32 bits (hence
use uint64_t). And also the page tables will have three or four levels
(depending on whether your guest is 32-bit PAE or 64-bit). So in the 64-bit
case for example, you would read cr3 to get pagedir_1, then index into
pagedir_1 to get pagedir_2, then index into pagedir_2 to get pagedir_3, then
index into pagedir_3 to get the pagetable. And mmu.ptr would point at an
entry in that pagetable.
