Table offset for shortening translation tables from their beginnings

摘要

A virtual address is translated to a real address using one or more tables at varying levels. An entry of a table is indexed based in part on a table origin and a table offset. The virtual address includes one or more indexes corresponding to the one or more varying level tables. A table is addressed as a function of the table origin and the corresponding index in the virtual address. The table offset indicates the actual beginning of the table from the origin.
