    x86/shadow: sh_update_linear_entries() is a no-op for PV

    start of the function.

-     * are set up at shadow creation time, but (of course!) the PAE case
-     * is subtler.  Normal linear mappings are made by having an entry
-     * in the top-level table that points to itself (shadow linear) or
-     * to the guest top-level table (guest linear).  For PAE, to set up
-     * a linear map requires us to copy the four top-level entries into
-     * level-2 entries.  That means that every time we change a PAE l3e,
-     * we need to reflect the change into the copy.
