1. Yes, quite right. I've changed those to "segregation". I'm open to a better term for this, though.
2. I think I covered that already in the text above the tables ("via separate page tables" and "page table swapping"). Is it the table's "could use PCID?" note that feels inaccurate?
3. Yup, fair point. I've clarified it to mention the emulation case (e.g. CONFIG_SW_DOMAIN_PAN provides PXN emulation as well as PAN emulation) and distinguish the instruction fetch from data access.
Thanks!
