* The mode is disabled in interrupt context and calls to the lazy_mmu API have

- * Nesting is not permitted.
+ * The lazy MMU mode is enabled for a given block of code using:
+ *
+ * lazy_mmu_mode_enable();
+ * <code>
+ * lazy_mmu_mode_disable();
+ *
+ * Nesting is permitted: <code> may itself use an enable()/disable() pair.
+ * A nested call to enable() has no functional effect; however disable() causes
+ * any batched architectural state to be flushed regardless of nesting. After a
+ * call to disable(), the caller can therefore rely on all previous page table
+ * modifications to have taken effect, but the lazy MMU mode may still be
+ * enabled.
+ *
+ * In certain cases, it may be desirable to temporarily pause the lazy MMU mode.
+ * This can be done using:
+ *
+ * lazy_mmu_mode_pause();
+ * <code>
+ * lazy_mmu_mode_resume();
+ *
+ * pause() ensures that the mode is exited regardless of the nesting level;
+ * resume() re-enters the mode at the same nesting level. Any call to the
+ * lazy_mmu_mode_* API between those two calls has no effect. In particular,
+ * this means that pause()/resume() pairs may nest.
+ *
+ * is_lazy_mmu_mode_active() can be used to check whether the lazy MMU mode is
