Understood. But I think the requirement here is for increment. My understanding is that the tool needs to save the page entries, and for that, it will need start of virtual mem, start of physical mem, mapping size and step to increment the entries. If that's so, we can re-label this entry as "step" instead of "page size". Please let me know if you think it's the right thing to do.

Agree, we don't really need nptes here, I will remove that and send V4.
