There was a warning on the non-PAE 32-bit builds saying that there was a
shift larger than the type.  I assumed this was because of a reference
to _PAGE_NX, and thus we needed a change to pteval_t.

But, now that I think about it more, that doesn't make sense since
_PAGE_NX should be #defined down to a 0 on those configs unless
something is wrong.
