__pte(0) is always zero.  If that changes in a future patch, that patch
is not doing the right thing.  The __pte()/pte_val() accesors should not
do anything beyond boxing/unboxing the value in a struct.  The right
place for special 8xx handling of the inverted bit is in pte_mkwrite()
and such.

I don't see any other architecture using __pte()/pte_val() this way.
