I don't follow what this is fixing. A shared entry would return true
to p2m_is_ram() - p2m_ram_shared is listed under P2M_RAM_TYPES - so
the rest of the if statement would never be checked. So if we get past
that check we know we definitely don't have a shared entry, ie
p2m_is_shared must be false ie the check for P2M_UNSHARE is dead code.
Am I missing something?
