x86: define PTE_MASK in a universally useful way
Define PTE_MASK so that it contains a meaningful value for all x86
pagetable configurations. Previously it was defined as a "long" which
means that it was too short to cover a 32-bit PAE pte entry.
It is now defined as a pteval_t, which is an integer type long enough
to contain a full pte (or pmd, pud, pgd).
This fixes an Xorg crash on 32-bit x86 with PAE due to corruption of the
NX bit in mprotect due to the incorrect type/value of PTE_MASK reported
by Hugh Dickins:
"Yes, thanks Jeremy: I've checked that each stage builds and runs X on
my boxes here, x86_32 and x86_32+PAE and x86_64. (So even 1/8 is
enough to fix the PAT pte_modify issue, though 2/8 then fixes
compiler warnings.)"
