Thanks for catching that. It's definitely a bug. Although,
practically, it's hard to hit, right? I think everything 64-bit
supports NX unless the hypervisor disabled it or something.

Do we need a comment on this, like:
/*
* The NX and GLOBAL bits are not supported on all CPUs.
* We will add them back to this mask at runtime in
* kaiser_init_all_pgds() if supported.

Should we be warning on these if we clear them? Seems kinda funky to
silently fix them up.

Practically, I guess boot_cpu_has(X86_FEATURE_PGE) == (cr4_read() &
X86_CR4_PGE). But, in a slow path like this, is it perhaps better to
just be checking CR4 directly?
Looks functionally fine to me, though. Feel free to add my Reviewed-by
or Acked-by.
