Thanks for the report. This is a false positive in a warning I added
because page_savedwrite overloads the _PAGE_PRIVILEGED bit. The warning
should be harmless and the code will do the right thing (and it will
flush). I think this should do it as a minimal fix.

I don't really like that we use that bit for this, I think it should not
cause a hardware access issue like with KUAP because there are no RWX
permissions, but having something like pte_user suddenly return false on
these seems a bit fragile. I'd rather use another bit for this,
something like _PAGE_SAO. But that shouldn't be done for this release...

Thanks,
Nick
