[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] target-i386: Don't forbid NX bit on PAE PDEs and PTEs

Commit e8f6d00c30ed88910d0d985f4b2bf41654172ceb ("target-i386: raise
page fault for reserved physical address bits") added a check that the
NX bit is not set on PAE PDPEs, but it also added it to rsvd_mask for
the rest of the function. This caused any PDEs or PTEs with NX set to be
erroneously rejected, making PAE guests with NX support unusable.
