Cover letter [PATCH] [0/36] Great change_page_attr patch series v3

Changes to previous versions:
- Ported to the latest git-x86 including the PAT patchkit This undoes some changes in the PAT patches and reimplements them in a different way. End result should be equivalent, but this made it easier for me to merge the patches.
- Fix NX bit handling (I think even after Jeremy's fixes it was still not completely right)
- Minor fixes based on feedback

-Andi
