Impact: future-proof the split_large_page() function Linus noticed that split_large_page() is not safe wrt. the PAT bit: it is bit 12 on the 1GB and 2MB page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE), and it is bit 7 on the 4K page table level (_PAGE_BIT_PAT). Currently it is not a problem because we never set _PAGE_BIT_PAT_LARGE on any of the large-page mappings - but should this happen in the future the split_large_page() would silently lift bit 12 into the lowlevel 4K pte and would start corrupting the physical page frame offset. Not fun. So add a debug warning, to make sure if something ever sets the PAT bit then this function gets updated too.
