Yes, I think you're right about that. Unfortunately there are some very
long TOCTOU windows in those kind of p2m lookups, which will get more
important as the p2m gets more dynamic. I don't want to have the
callers of p2m code touching the p2m lock directly so we may need a new
p2m interface to address it.
