This pr adds changes the iterator returned by PageTable::iter{_mut} to a custom iterator that avoids calculating the end pointer of the page table. It also adds a warning against using recursive index 511.

Closes #424

// that address sound, but it avoids some easy to trigger
// miscompilations.
let ptr = self.entries.as_ptr();
(0..512).map(move |i| unsafe { &*ptr.add(i) })

Have you tried whether self.entries[i] works? This way we might be able to avoid the unsafe..

This should work for iter, but not iter_mut.

Thanks for the update!

I proposed a small update to the safety comment, otherwise this looks good to me.
