/*
* CR3's layout varies depending on several things.
*
* If CR4.PCIDE is set (64-bit only), then CR3[11:0] is the address space ID.
* If PAE is enabled, then CR3[11:5] is part of the PDPT address
* (i.e. it's 32-byte aligned, not page-aligned) and CR3[4:0] is ignored.
* Otherwise (non-PAE, non-PCID), CR3[3] is PWT, CR3[4] is PCD, and
* CR3[2:0] and CR3[11:5] are ignored.
*
* In all cases, Linux puts zeros in the low ignored bits and in PWT and PCD.
*
* CR3[63] is always read as zero. If CR4.PCIDE is set, then CR3[63] may be
* written as 1 to prevent the write to CR3 from flushing the TLB.
*
* On systems with SME, one bit (in a variable position!) is stolen to indicate
* that the top-level paging structure is encrypted.
*
* On systemms with LAM, bits 61 and 62 are used to indicate LAM mode.
*
* All of the remaining bits indicate the physical address of the top-level
* paging structure.
*
* CR3_ADDR_MASK is the mask used by read_cr3_pa().

Annotation
- Immediate include surface: `uapi/asm/processor-flags.h`, `linux/mem_encrypt.h`.
- Atlas domain: Architecture Layer / arch/x86.
- Implementation status: source implementation candidate.
Implementation Notes
- This generated page is the file-by-file coverage layer; curated subsystem chapters should link here when they synthesize a multi-file control flow.
- Core OS pages should be promoted from atlas-only to deep-reviewed when they explain data structures, invariants, locking, lifecycle, and C implementation snippets.
- Driver-family pages are intentionally pattern-oriented unless they are part of the selected PCIe/NVMe representative device path.
