Doesn't this change require modifying the BUG() here into a BUG_ON() so
that it doesn't trigger if pgprot_val(prot) == pgprot_val(ref_prot) and
level != 4?

While I remember you stated the inverse, I continue to think that it'd be
safer to mask out the accessed and dirty flags for the comparisons this
macro is being used for.
