I have another doubt here.

If you get a fault due to U=0, you would not get PFERR_PK_MASK.  This
is checked implicitly through the pte_user bit which we moved to
PFERR_RSVD_BIT.  However, if you get a fault due to W=0 _and_
PKRU.AD=1 or PKRU.WD=1 for the page's protection key, would the PK
bit be set in the error code?  If not, we would need something like
this:
