Sure. But do it correctly and perform a tlb flush higher up in the page
table walking code. Just deleting it entirely is bogus. Introducing
hard to track down bugs is just stupid.

It isn't a bug, the referenced bit is a heuristic. The referenced bit
being wrong cannot result in corrupted user memory.

Franks a lot,
