Subject: [PATCH] x86 mmiotrace: refactor clearing/restore of page presence

* change function names to clear_* from set_*: in reality we only clear
  and restore page presence, and never unconditionally set present.
  Using clear_*({true, false}, ...) is therefore more honest than
  set_*({false, true}, ...)

* upgrade presence storage to pteval_t: doing user-space tracing will
  require saving and manipulation of the _PAGE_PROTNONE bit, in addition
  to the existing _PAGE_PRESENT changes, and having multiple bools stored
  and passed around does not seem optimal
