David Mosberger was concerned about the increase in code
size from this inline function. We can reduce the bloat
a bit by defining a macro that tests for "present &&
executable && user-mode" in one go:
#define pte_pux(pte) ((pte_val(pte) &
(_PAGE_P|_PAGE_PL_MASK|_PAGE_AR_RX)) == \
(_PAGE_P|_PAGE_PL_3|_PAGE_AR_RX))
Perhaps there is a better name than "pte_pux"? I don't know whether
the code that this generates is faster, but it is smaller (bloat
is only 3k instead of 4k).
One last cleanup needed ... don't use C-99/C++ style comments.
