The translation lookaside buffer, or TLB, caches the translation of virtual to physical addresses. It's filled automatically when a page is accessed. But it's not updated transparently when the mapping of a page changes. This is the reason that we still can access the page even through we unmapped it in the page table.
So to fix our `unmap` function, we need to remove the cached translation from the TLB. We can use Gerd Zellweger's x86 crate to do this easily. To add it, append `x86 = "0.5.0"` to the dependency section in the `Cargo.toml`. Then we can use it to fix `unmap`:
