Description
The current implementations of offset and recursive page table require that new to be called with an already existing page table. Provide convenience methods to create more page tables from an existing page table or by taking limits as a parameter to the new function.

Research direction
Start by locating the offset and recursive page-table implementations and reading how their current new methods accept an existing page table. Define convenience creation paths for an existing page table and for supplied limits; the work is done when both implementations support these paths with compatible behavior and tests cover them.
