In the context of my patch to CODING_STYLE about the use of ASSERTs,
thinking about ASSERT vs BUG_ON vs something else here.  I guess in this
case:

1. PV guests can't be in translate mode
2. If that ever changed, we'd probably trip over the ASSERT() while
debugging

So I guess ASSERT() is probably fine.

So does that mean, though, that SHARED_M2P_ENTRY & friends are entirely
vestigal now, and can be removed?
