I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "identity mapping". None of
the public documentation seems to describe the exact layout of PDEs or
PTEs, so it's somewhat hard to tell what to set them to when pages are
unmapped.

That certainly sounds like a useful thing to have. Like I said this is
an RFC and I'm not even sure if it's acceptable in the current form, so
I wanted to get feedback early on to avoid wasting effort on something
that turn out to be a wild-goose chase.
