+ * Functions that deal with pagetables that could be at any level of
+ * the table need to be passed an "index_size" so they know how to
+ * handle allocation.  For PTE pages, the allocation size will be
+ * (2^index_size * sizeof(pointer)) and allocations are drawn from
+ * the kmem_cache in PGT_CACHE(index_size).
+ *
+ * The maximum index size needs to be big enough to allow any
+ * pagetable sizes we need, but small enough to fit in the low bits of
+ * any page table pointer.  In other words all pagetables, even tiny
+ * ones, must be aligned to allow at least enough low 0 bits to
+ * contain this value.  This value is also used as a mask, so it must
+ * be one less than a power of two.
