This chunk needs to be in the earlier arch specific patch.

Reading that code and i thought i would be nice if we could define a
pte_mask that we can or instead of all those if () entry |= ... but
that is just some dumb optimization and does not have any bearing on
the present patch. Just wanted to say that outloud.

Don't you want to abort and return here if both flags are set ?
