  * Dealing With Guest Memory.
  *
+ * Before we go too much further into the Host, we need to grok the routines
+ * we use to deal with Guest memory.
+ *
  * When the Guest gives us (what it thinks is) a physical address, we can use
  * the normal copy_from_user() & copy_to_user() on the corresponding place in
  * the memory region allocated by the Launcher.

+/*M:012 Lguest is meant to be simple: my rule of thumb is that 1% more LOC must
+ * gain at least 1% more performance.  Since neither LOC nor performance can be
+ * measured beforehand, it generally means implementing a feature then deciding
+ * if it's worth it.  And once it's implemented, who can say no?
+ *
+ * This is why I haven't implemented this idea myself.  I want to, but I
+ * haven't.  You could, though.
+ *
+ * The main place where lguest performance sucks is Guest page faulting.  When
+ * a Guest userspace process hits an unmapped page we switch back to the Host,
+ * walk the page tables, find it's not mapped, switch back to the Guest page
+ * fault handler, which calls a hypercall to set the page table entry, then
+ * finally returns to userspace.  That's two round-trips.
+ *
+ * If we had a small walker in the Switcher, we could quickly check the Guest
+ * page table and if the page isn't mapped, immediately reflect the fault back
+ * into the Guest.  This means the Switcher would have to know the top of the
+ * Guest page table and the page fault handler address.
+ *
+ * For simplicity, the Guest should only handle the case where the privilege
+ * level of the fault is 3 and probably only not present or write faults.  It
+ * should also detect recursive faults, and hand the original fault to the
+ * Host (which is actually really easy).
