I'll add more comments and modify the code to set 4 PDPTE entries. Also will 
add unit test code check the MustBeZero fields for PAE paging.
Thanks for the comments.

Thanks,
Dun

1. can you update comments to explain such as:
"These fields are treated as ReadWrite, .... by the common map logic. So they 
might be set to 1."

2. Above code sets the CR3 value. You should update the 4 PDPTE entries.
