Claim Text:
1. A method of facilitating translation of a guest memory address, said method comprising: obtaining, by an adjunct component, an indication of an address translation fault related to the guest memory address, the address translation fault being a fault in translating the guest memory address to a host memory address and being based on an attempted host level translation of the guest memory address to a host memory address, the adjunct component being separate and distinct from a guest operating system and executing on a processor of a system configuration, the system configuration comprising the guest operating system supported by a hypervisor, the hypervisor being a paravirtualized hypervisor configured such that the hypervisor relies, in part, on guest operating systems to provide host level translation information indicating translations of guest memory addresses to host memory addresses; and based on obtaining the indication of the address translation fault, providing, by the adjunct component to the hypervisor, address translation information to enable successful performance of a host translation of the guest memory address.
