Leaf PTEs (i.e., really just PTEs, not PDEs) can be directly written from
the point-of-view of the guest. In fact they are trapped and emulated by
Xen. The guest is somewhat aware of this because it has explicitly
write-protected all its pagetables, so if it were to attempt the direct
write on native hardware in these circumstances it would receive a page
fault.
