Since these always happen under protection of the pagetable lock, the strong synchronization of a 64-bit cmpxchg is not needed, in fact, not even a lock prefix needs to be used. We can simply instead clear the P-bit, followed by a normal set. The write ordering is still important to avoid the possibility of the TLB snooping a partially written PTE and getting a bad mapping installed.
