I strongly object to this helper.  PRESENT in hardware and shadow-present are two
very different things, the name is_large_present_pte() doesn't capture that detail.
Yeah, we could name it is_large_shadow_present_pte(), but for me at least that
requires more effort to read, and it's not like this is replacing 10s of instances.
