A 64bit PTE can have bit7 set to 1 which means "Use this bit for the PAT". Currently KVM's MMU code treats this bit as reserved, even though it's not. As long as we're not required to make use of the PAT bits which is only required for DMA/MMIO from my understanding, we can safely ignore it. Hyper-V uses this bit for kernel PTEs.
