+ * CR3's layout varies depending on several things.
+ *
+ * If CR4.PCIDE is set (64-bit only), then CR3[11:0] is the address space ID.
+ * If PAE is enabled, then CR3[11:5] is part of the PDPT address
+ * (i.e. it's 32-byte aligned, not page-aligned) and CR3[4:0] is ignored.
+ * Otherwise (non-PAE, non-PCID), CR3[3] is PWT, CR3[4] is PCD, and
+ * CR3[2:0] and CR3[11:5] are ignored.
+ *
+ * In all cases, Linux puts zeros in the low ignored bits and in PWT and PCD.
+ *
+ * CR3[63] is always read as zero. If CR4.PCIDE is set, then CR3[63] may be
+ * written as 1 to prevent the write to CR3 from flushing the TLB.
+ *
+ * On systems with SME, one bit (in a variable position!) is stolen to indicate
+ * that the top-level paging structure is encrypted.
+ *
+ * All of the remaining bits indicate the physical address of the top-level
+ * paging structure.
+ *
+ * CR3_ADDR_MASK is the mask used by read_cr3_pa().
