I am talking about new features in CPU, for example. In which case we 
may need to add another function,
like now we have to add page_invalidation. pmap_map () would be fixed, 
but install_ap_trump () may stay
not fixed. But it is also possible that pmap_map () could be changed in 
the way it wouldn't suit our needs
and may broke smt again. In any case I'll use kenter + invalidate since 
map confuses a bit to close this
question and move on.
