- * On s390 platform, the lower 4 bits are used to identify given page table
- * entry type. But these bits might affect the ability to clear entries with
- * pxx_clear() because of how dynamic page table folding works on s390. So
- * while loading up the entries do not change the lower 4 bits. It does not
- * have affect any other platform. Also avoid the 62nd bit on ppc64 that is
- * used to mark a pte entry.
