On reflection, maybe not. IIRC the page tables for the current process
are mapped linearly at PROCESS_PAGE_TBLS_BASE. So they are there in an
single array. What happens if a physical page is missing from that map
and we try to dereference it, I've no idea. I hope we won't end up
mapping one in, just so that we can decide that it doesn't contain a valid
