We could define GMAP masks, that only leave the bits needed for GMAP
usage. Integrating this in pgtable.h might be hard and we only have one
user of this.

No, _SEGMENT_ENTRY_BITS contains these bits.

This is effectively ~(_SEGMENT_ENTRY_READ | _SEGMENT_ENTRY_WRITE) to get
rid of the software bits linux uses for tracking.

That will be difficult because of the different origin masks.

When I started I thought adding edat2 would not be harder than adding
edat1. The large suffix could have later been used to do 1m and 2g
handling because the bits are at the same places.

I'll change this one and all later occurrences.

Yes it seems we have to do that.
We just never ran into troubles because len is generally < HPAGE_SIZE
and tables don't seem to cross segment boundaries.

ACC is ignored when the validity is 0 and 62 and 63 (0x3) are "available
for programming".
It pretty much sounds like these are OS bits free for any usage, I'll
ask the hardware team when I find time.
