pte_pfn() returns a PFN of long (32 bits in 32-PAE), then "long << PAGE_SHIFT" will overflow for PFNs above 4GB. Due to this issue, some Linux 32-PAE distros, running as guests on Hyper-V, with 5GB memory assigned, can't load the netvsc driver successfully and hence the synthetic network device can't work (we can use the kernel parameter mem=3000M to work around the issue).
