Add unified Pte, Pde, and DualPde wrapper enums that abstract over
MMU v2 and v3 page table entry formats. These enums allow the page
table walker and VMM to work with both MMU versions.

+impl DualPde {

+            Self::V3(d) => d.has_small(),
+        }
+    }
+

Should we also have a has_big here as well?

Good catch, I will add that in, thanks.
