    I will request the server folks go and test this. You'll probably
    remember a couple of parts we've seen where aggressive walker caches
    ended up (correctly) seeing stale page table entries and we had all
    manner of horrifically hard to debug problems. We have some fairly nice
    reproducers that were able to find this last time that we can test.

    Jon.
