I would still prefer a note about the non-EPT case, makes it easy to
understand.

Thank you for the thorough review here. I missed that we didn't set the read bit
at all. I am still a little unclear how permission_fault works though...

I wanted to keep it the former way because "PT_PRESENT_MASK is equal to VMX_EPT_READABLE_MASK"
is an assumption all throughout. I wanted to use this section to catch mismatches.
