Hi Sean, Thanks for the explanations. Please see my comments below. Thanks!

Sorry, I could not understand why the emulated MMU is still needed when TDP (e.g., Intel EPT) is used? In particular, in what situations, we need the emulated MMU to configure the TDP PTEs in hardware and walk the guest IA32 PTEs? Why do we need the emulated MMU in these situations? Best, Harry
