Why isn't the table being updated instead of being destroyed and then recreated? Which piece of the puzzle and I missing?
When the physical memory map changes the EPT tables are zapped. This
happens when PCI BARs are remapped, or when VGA remaps the framebuffer
windows at 0xa0000-0xc0000. Both of these happen during boot. Do you
see zaps happening after boot is complete?
