he pgt_buf_[start, end,top] have all changed to new values (b/c another init_memory_mapping is called). Hence, the first time we enter this function, we save away the pgt_buf_start value and update the pgt_buf_[end,top]. When we detect that the "old" pgt_buf_start through pgt_buf_end PFNs have been reserved (so memblock_x86_reserve_range has been called), we immediately set out to RW the "old" pgt_buf_end through pgt_buf_top. And then we update those "old" pgt_buf_[end|top] with the new ones so that we can redo this on the next pagetable. Acked-by: "H.
