No, I'm reacting to this comment in the changelog "For x86_32, set the
page tables explicitly using _set_memory_prot() (seeing they are
already mapped)". You've done some investigation that
x86_32::arch_add_memory() expects the page tables to be already
established. I think that's worth capturing inline in the code for
other people doing cross-arch arch_add_memory() changes.
