I wonder if it would make sense to have a debugfs file which exports the
p2m, for the purposes of eye-balling it for this sort of issue?
comparing to the e820 etc...
Maybe the whole thing in raw form would be overkill but spitting out a
list of ranges of identity, invalid, normal pages, plus annotation
regarding whether those come from a p2m_mid_identity style page or a
leaf node, might be occasionally useful.
