Embodiments of an invention for controlling access to groups of memory pages in a virtualized environment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a processor includes a virtualization unit and a memory management unit. The virtualization unit is to transfer control of the processor to a virtual machine. The memory management unit is to perform, in response to an attempt to execute on the virtual machine an instruction stored on a first page, a page walk through a paging structure to find a second page and to allow access to the second page without exiting the virtual machine based at least in part on a bit being set in a leaf level entry corresponding to the second page in the paging structure and a corresponding bit being set in each entry corresponding to the first page in each level of the paging structure.
