[PATCH 8 of 8] x86/cpa: use an undefined PTE bit for testing CPA

From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge
Date: Tue Jul 01 2008 - 21:03:50 EST


Rather than using _PAGE_GLOBAL - which not all CPUs support - to test
CPA, use one of the reserved-for-software-use PTE flags instead. This
allows CPA testing to work on CPUs which don't support PGD.
