Groundwork for supporting parallel TCG generation.
We never remove entries from the radix tree, so we can use cmpxchg
to implement lockless insertions.

+The global page table is a lockless radix tree; cmpxchg is used

The lookup caches are updated atomically and the lookup hash uses QHT
which is designed for concurrent safe lookup.
