 When I asked:
	jsgf: does that include the NX flag?
 He responded eloquently:
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	rusty: use PTE_MASK
	yes, it's the official constant of masking flags out of ptes
)

Change a15af1c 'x86/paravirt: add
pte_flags to just get pte flags' removed lguest's private pte_flags()
in favor of a generic one.

Unfortunately, the generic one doesn't filter out the non-flags bits:
this results in lguest creating corrupt shadow page tables and blowing
up host memory.

Since noone is supposed to use the pfn part of pte_flags(), it seems
safest to always do the filtering.
