Although the _PAGE_BIT_SOFTW* bits are used up, there's plenty of room
in the hardware PTEs. Bits 52->58 are software-available, and we're
only using 58 at the moment.

We also have not been careful at *all* about how _PAGE_BIT_SOFTW* are
used. It's quite possible we can encode another use even in the
existing bits.

Personally, I'd just try:

#define _PAGE_BIT_SOFTW5 57 /* available for programmer */
