When clearing _PAGE_PRESENT on a huge page, we need to be careful to also clear _PAGE_PSE, otherwise it might still get confused for a valid large page table entry. We do that near the spot where we *set* _PAGE_PSE. That's fine, but it's unnecessary. pgprot_large_2_4k() already did it. BTW, I also noticed that pgprot_large_2_4k() and pgprot_4k_2_large() are not symmetric. pgprot_large_2_4k() clears _PAGE_PSE (because it is aliased to _PAGE_PAT) but pgprot_4k_2_large() does not put _PAGE_PSE back. Bummer. Also, add some comments and change "promote" to "move". "Promote" seems an odd word to move when we are logically moving a bit to a lower bit position. Also add an extra line return to make it clear to which line the comment applies.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
