I see a problem here. If we create page table as a new segment then,
how can we verify in purgatory that sha for page table is correct? We
need page table before sha verification start,and we can not rely the
page table created by first kernel until it's sha is verified. So a
chicken-egg problem.
I think, creating page table will just take fraction of second and
should be good even in purgatory, What do you say?
