This is when a kernel accesses a bad page.
However, the two "mk_pte"s seem incorrect. The mk_pte macro assumes
that kernel virtual memory addresses are passed and will subtract
0xc0000000 from that address. Thus, pg0[0] will get set to the wrong
value (0x40000000 | PAGE_SHARED).
Also, why is pg0[0] being set anyway? Any access to that location
would seem to always be an error. In the first case, the mem_init
code resets pg0[0] to the original value so any change here is
ignored. In the second case, pg0[0] does not seem to be the correct
PTE either (swapper_pg_dir[0] is cleared in paging_init).
