Just a small note: You should be a bit careful about generalizing
statements like this. I was only saying that the mapping database
*can* be viewed as a cache for the real mapping information kept in
the pagers. In particular I was saying this in the context where
someone forcibly revokes memory because of, e.g., memory presure.
There's nothing stopping you from designing a system where there's a
contract between mapper and mappee saying that the mapping will not be
revoked (of course, in this case the mappee must trust the mapper).
