He means, that in Linux there are both types of pagetables ..
page-tables local to processes and a page-table for the system.
(Or is there any other way to interpret the answer?)

I was thinking like linux have inverted page table(per system) and
page table (per process).
Both these tables are mutually exclusive. any system can have only one
of them. I interpreted this thing as linux have both these table. Both
are used address transformation.

Thanks for your reply and interpretations. I got good pointer from some
other group.

Thanks again
