If the function is shared, why is it being placed in the x86 file instead
of the shared one (with again no declaration added to the shared
header)?

Ah, okay, here comes the answer to the question I asked in an
earlier patch. However, using AllocateMaxAddress with an
unlimited address seems kind of bogus. I'd prefer this to be done
cleanly by passing a boolean into the function and having that one
use AllocateMaxAddress or AllocateAnyPages.

Please name the variable differently if it is used for other than the
purpose its current name implies.

Also there are again blank line issues above - I'm not going to
repeat respective comments made in an earlier patch, implying
that you'll take care of these issues throughout the series.

This redundant lookup can be avoided by having the function return
not just a bool_t.
