With the separate structures, do you have plans to implement e.g. shadow paging?
Or some other paging mode beyond the basic one based on the H extension? If the
structures are to remain separate, may I suggest that you keep things properly
separated (no matter how e.g. Arm may have it) in terms of naming? I.e. no
single "p2m" inside struct paging_domain.

If you want p2m and paging to be separate, you will want to put these in a new
paging_init().
