/*
* Update PTEP with ENTRY, which is guaranteed to be a less
* restrictive PTE. That is, ENTRY may have the ACCESSED, DIRTY, and
* WRITABLE bits turned on, when the value at PTEP did not. The
* WRITABLE bit may only be turned if SAFELY_WRITABLE is TRUE.
*
* SAFELY_WRITABLE is TRUE if we can update the value at PTEP without
* having to worry about races. On SMP machines, there are only two
* cases where this is true:
*
* (1) *PTEP has the PRESENT bit turned OFF
* (2) ENTRY has the DIRTY bit turned ON
*
* On ia64, we could implement this routine with a cmpxchg()-loop
* which ORs in the _PAGE_A/_PAGE_D bit if they're set in ENTRY.
* However, like on x86, we can get a more streamlined version by
* observing that it is OK to drop ACCESSED bit updates when
* SAFELY_WRITABLE is FALSE. Besides being rare, all that would do is
* result in an extra Access-bit fault, which would then turn on the
* ACCESSED bit in the low-level fault handler (iaccess_bit or
* daccess_bit in ivt.S).
