    Older x86-32 processors do not support global mappings (PGD), so must
    only use it if the processor supports it.
    
    The _PAGE_KERNEL* flags always have _PAGE_KERNEL set, since logically
    we always want it set.
    
    This is OK even on processors which do not support PGD, since all
    _PAGE flags are masked with __supported_pte_mask before being turned
    into a real in-pagetable pte.  On 32-bit systems, __supported_pte_mask
    is initialized to not contain _PAGE_GLOBAL, and it is then added if
    the CPU is found to support it.
    
    The x86-32 code used to use __PAGE_KERNEL/__PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for this
    purpose, but they're now redundant and can be removed.
