Looks like they are assuming all their hardware thread share the same virtual->physical translation table, the state of each threads will be a lot bigger if you have more than one application running.
They have to define how they handle a switch to a new thread with exactly the same virtual memory config, a completely independent virtual memory config, and a partially different one (has just forked, copy on write, access application memory from kernel space...)
