This makes sense.  I think we need to order the stores in set_pte_at

Nah, that shouldn't be necessary.

 Also, I think we should change pte_clear to  
use pte_update() so we only clear the low-order flag bits.  Patch will  
be sent shortly for review.

Well... at one point at least we did rely on a PTE page with all PTEs
cleared to be blank. It don't know if that's still the case, I need to
look.
