| PDPT_A |
Accessed; if PDPT_PS set indicates whether software has accessed the 1-GByte page else indicates whether this entry has been used for linear-address translation |

| PD_D |
Dirty; if PD_PS indicates whether software has written to the 2-MByte page referenced by this entry. else ignored. |
| PD_G |
Global; if PD_PS && CR4.PGE = 1, determines whether the translation is global; ignored otherwise if not PD_PS this is ignored. |
| PD_P |
Present; must be 1 to map a 2-MByte page or reference a page table. |

| PML4_PCD |
Page-level cache disable; indirectly determines the memory type used to access the page-directory-pointer table referenced by this entry. |
| PML4_PWT |
Page-level write-through; indirectly determines the memory type used to access the page-directory-pointer table referenced by this entry. |

Functions
| pd_index |
Given virtual address calculate corresponding entry in PD. |
| pdpt_index |
Given virtual address calculate corresponding entry in PDPT. |

Type Definitions
| PD |
A page directory. |
| PDPT |
A page directory pointer table. |
| PML4 |
A PML4 table. In practice this has only 4 entries but it still needs to be the size of a 4K page. |
| PT |
A page table. |
