* uses 2 PAE page tables, each mapping a 2MiB region. For these,
* @role.quadrant encodes which half of the region they map.
*
- * Note, the 4 PAE page directories are pre-allocated and the quadrant
- * assigned in mmu_alloc_root(). So only page tables need to be handled
- * here.
+ * Concretely, a 4-byte PDE consumes bits 31:22, while an 8-byte PDE
+ * consumes bits 29:21. To consume bits 31:30, KVM's uses 4 shadow
+ * PDPTEs; those 4 PAE page directories are pre-allocated and their
+ * quadrant is assigned in mmu_alloc_root(). A 4-byte PTE consumes
+ * bits 21:12, while an 8-byte PTE consumes bits 20:12. To consume
+ * bit 21 in the PTE (the child here), KVM propagates that bit to the
+ * quadrant, i.e. sets quadrant to '0' or '1'. The parent 8-byte PDE
+ * covers bit 21 (see above), thus the quadrant is calculated from the
+ * _least_ significant bit of the PDE index.
