-------------------------
The address translation things in full system mode is handled by the
so called SoftMMU, which translate gVA->hEA. gEA->gVA is known as
address calculation and handled in insn translation. gVA->gPA is
handled by SoftMMU using Guest Page Table, gPA->hEA is handled by
SoftMMU using two-level-table of PhyPageDesc structures. There is
again TLB which translate gVA->hEA directly.
SoftMMU code is mainly in softmmu_header.h, softmmu_template.h, things
related to PhyPageDesc...

吏舍局终年，出郊旷清曙。
杨柳散和风，青山澹吾虑。
依丛适自憩，缘涧还复去。
微雨霭芳原，春鸠鸣何处。
乐幽心屡止，遵事迹犹遽。
终罢斯结庐，慕陶真可庶。
