It is faster if you avoid the ! and shift right from the AC bit into
position PFERR_RSVD_BIT - 1. In update_permission_bitmask you can
invert the direction of the bit when you extract it from pfec.

You are overwriting this variable below, but that is not okay because
the value of CR4 must be considered separately in each iteration. This
also hides a uninitialized-variable bug for smap correctly in
