Hmm, so this naming looks confusing and error-prone: the only difference
is a single "_".
How about this instead:
#define _PAGE_TABLE_NO_ENC (_PAGE_PRESENT | _PAGE_RW | _PAGE_USER | \
_PAGE_ACCESSED | _PAGE_DIRTY)
#define _PAGE_TABLE (_PAGE_TABLE_NO_ENC | _PAGE_ENC)
Or call it _PAGE_TABLE_BASE or whatever.
Ditto for __KERNPG_TABLE.
This way you can differentiate between the two and use the _NO_ENC one
to define _PAGE_TABLE. And it will be absolutely clear when you use the
_NO_ENC one, what you mean and that you don't want to have the enc mask
in the PTE.
Should be less confusing IMO too.
