Descripción
Currently, the paging code in the guest can update page tables, but doesn't have any way to keep metadata about mappings. This makes doing things like implementing mprotect() on a region of virtual address space that isn't backed by a physical mapping quite difficult, which is a problem for wasmtime. We should instead have some area datastructure that can keep around metadata, allow registering a handler for page faults on a particular area, etc.
