The linux kernel uses the following mapping for PAT entries:
PTE encoding:
PAT
|PCD
||PWT PAT
||| slot
000 0 WB : _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB
001 1 WC : _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WC
010 2 UC-: _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC_MINUS
011 3 UC : _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_UC
100 4 WB : Reserved
101 5 WP : _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WP
110 6 UC-: Reserved
111 7 WT : _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WT
Update the page table generator to match what the linux kernel is
using. This just makes things consistent with linux.

Certain platforms need paging enabled during cache-as-ram because
dirty lines are being evicted by a heavy speculative frontend. Paging
needs to be enabled in order to utilize the NX (no execute) bit for
the regions that are strictly data (such as the stack). This utility
creates 32-bit PAE page tables using a static address space, and
the resulting tables have entries for all the PDPTEs such that it makes
it easy to enable 2MiB naturally aligned DRAM mappings once memory is
trained. Either binary files can be generated or C files. The pages that
are linked use a default base address of 0xaa000000 that can be changed at
runtime to reflect where the page tables are actually loaded. Or
specify a physical address on the command line that is known a priori.
