1. It's related to a Linux kernel bug which fixed by Ingo on
07a66d7c53. The original code exists for quite a
long time, and it would convert a PDE for large page into a normal PDE. But it
fail to fit normal PDE well. With the code before Ingo's fix, the kernel would
fall reserved bit checking with bit 8 - the remaining global bit of PTE. So the
kernel would receive a double-fault.
2. After discussion, we decide to discard PDE bit 7-8 reserved checking for now.
For this marked as reserved in SDM, but didn't checked by the processor in
fact...
