I'm having trouble parsing the last sentence there.

Or at least it doesn't seem to match the code, or I don't understand
either the code or the comment. More below.

A nicer API would be for the 2nd param to be a "bool radix", and have
the caller worry about the fact that it comes from (patb0 & PATB_HR).

That looks like an unrelated whitespace change.

Ditto.

ie. here we always update the copy of the partition table, regardless of
whether we're running under an ultravisor or not. So the copy is a
complete copy isn't it?

What is different is whether we flush or not.

And don't we still need to do the flush for the nestMMU? I assume we're
saying the ultravisor will broadcast a flush for us, which will also
handle the nestMMU case?

cheers
