We need to distinguish between large page shadows which have the nx bit set
and those which don't. The problem shows up when booting a newer smp Linux
kernel, where the trampoline page (which is in real mode, which uses the
same shadow pages as large pages) is using the same mapping as a kernel data
page, which is mapped using nx, causing kvm to spin on that page.

* bits 4:7 - page table level for this shadow (1-4)
* bits 8:9 - page table quadrant for 2-level guests
* bit 16 - "metaphysical" - gfn is not a real page (huge page/real mode)
- * bits 17:18 - "access" - the user and writable bits of a huge page pde
+ * bits 17:19 - "access" - the user, writable, and nx bits of a huge page pde
