Btw, those last two are "(implies PCD=PWT=0)" according to
http://www.sandpile.org/x86/crx.htm with PCID. I was wondering recently
what happens with those bits when PCID is enabled and CR3[11:0] is the
ASID. I couldn't find it in the SDM.

And it kinda makes sense, PCD=1b is probably only for testing some
hardware crud and not really sensible for normal production.
