I have a question about xc_translate_foreign_address(). When this call
is issued for VCPU1 in a 2 VCPU guest where VCPU1 is in a paused state
and VCPU0 is active, there is a possibility that VCPU0 could change
the page tables that VCPU1 is using. There is a window where the
function could return incorrect information. Is this true or there is
something that prevents it from happening?

Thanks,
AP
