What annoys me about hap and hvm is that it comes from a paravirtualization viewpoint, where pv is the default model, and hardware extensions are an optional addition. With kvm it's the other way round: the base model is full virtualization, and paravirtualization is an optional add-on. I'd rather call traditional shadow paging "software-assisted paging".
