Can we just save the cpu_to_be64(_PAGE_PTE) as _BE64_PAGE_PTE constant
in big-endian (pgtable-be-types.h) and similar for other things. I know its
not the best option, but we don't really expect these bits to change often or anymore
How does that help ? The compiler solves it at compile time either
way, I'm not sure adding yet another constant will improve
readability here.

Cheers,
