Or did you want to factorize this with the stage 2 free path?Hmm, or maybe it's the alloc() path that needs fixing actually ...
No, I think you're right. The hyp stage-1 PGD is always a single page, so I can simplify the free() path. At one point, I had a common free() path for stage-1 and stage-2, but that didn't last very long, as the stage-2 page-table pages are refcounted so you end up having to deal with them differently anyway. Do you think there is a functional issue here? I don't immediately see it.
