Currently, the flags used to update page tables (i.e PAGE_HYPERVISOR_*)
only contains the memory attribute index. Follow-up patches will add
more information in it.

At the same time introduce PAGE_AI_MASK to get the memory attribute
index easily.

I wonder if that should be merged with the next patch, to explain the
reason for it. As it stands now it just applies a mask to some existing
call, which looks a bit suspicious.
But that's just a nit and the patch itself is fine, so:

Not really it just documents the current behavior rather than hiding 
what is going on.
