Hi Quentin,

We will soon start annotating shared pages in page-tables in nVHE
protected mode. Define all the states in which a page can be (owned,
shared and owned, shared and borrowed), and provide helpers allowing to
convert this into SW bits annotations using the matching prot
attributes.

I think that this encoding is pretty neat and easy to follow.
