31 
        Zones - linked list (not many zones, so we can afford it. Can be replaced with B-tree in the future)
32 
        Number of zones depends on HW tables. Describe zone allocation/deallocation algoritm

        <para>Page tables. 4 level hierarchical and hash directly supported. B+ Tree can be implemented.</para>
16 bondari 35 
        <para>For paging there is an abstract layer</para>
36 
        <para>TLB shootdown implementation (update TLB upon mapping update/remove).
37 
        TLB shootdown ASID/ASID:PAGE/ALL.
38 
        TLB shootdown requests can come in asynchroniously
39 
        so there is a cache of TLB shootdown requests. Upon cache overflow TLB shootdown ALL is executed</para>

41 
        <para>
42 
            Address spaces. Address space area (B+ tree). Only for uspace. Set of syscalls (shrink/extend etc).
43 
            Special address space area type - device - prohibits shrink/extend syscalls to call on it.
44 
            Address space has link to mapping tables (hierarchical - per Address space, hash - global tables).
