7.3.10 Translating small page references

Figure 7-11 shows the complete translation sequence for a 4KB small page.

Figure 7-11 Small page translation from a coarse page table

If a small page descriptor is included in a fine page table, the upper two bits of the page index

and low-order two bits of the fine page table index overlap. Each fine page table entry for a

small page must therefore be duplicated four times.
