-* - PK is always zero unless CR4.PKE=1 and EFER.LMA=1
+* - PK is always zero unless CR4.PKE=1/CR4.PKS=1 and EFER.LMA=1
 * - PK is always zero if RSVD=1 (reserved bit set) or F=1 (instruction fetch)
-* - PK is always zero if U=0 in the page tables
-* - PKRU.WD is ignored if CR0.WP=0 and the access is a supervisor access.
+* - (PKRU/PKRS).WD is ignored if CR0.WP=0 and the access is a supervisor access.
 *
-* The PKRU bitmask caches the result of these four conditions.  The error
-* code (minus the P bit) and the page table's U bit form an index into the
-* PKRU bitmask.  Two bits of the PKRU bitmask are then extracted and ANDed
-* with the two bits of the PKRU register corresponding to the protection key.
-* For the first three conditions above the bits will be 00, thus masking
