   PDEs and PTEs share a common format:

   |         Physical Address           |         Flags          |
   +------------------------------------+------------------------+
 
   In a PDE, the physical address points to a page table.
   In a PTE, the physical address points to a data or code page.
   The important flags are listed below.
   When a PDE or PTE is not "present", the other flags are
   ignored.
   A PDE or PTE that is initialized to 0 will be interpreted as
   "not present", which is just fine. */
