PDPTEs are used only if CR0.PG=CR4.PAE=1.

In that situation, their format depends the value of IA32_EFER.LMA.

If IA32_EFER.LMA=0, bit 63 is reserved and must be 0 in any PDPTE
that is marked present.  The execute-disable setting of a page is
determined only by the PDE and PTE.
If IA32_EFER.LMA=1, bit 63 is used for the execute-disable in PML4
entries, PDPTEs, PDEs, and PTEs (assuming IA32_EFER.NXE=1).

Rebased.
Thanks, eddie
