Why do we set PG_U here?

I do not think there is a reason now. It might be there was some reason before, if e.g. vm86 mode was used on the wakeup path [Or any other trampoline from real mode to final protection mode, we are consistent to set PG_U on all trampoline ptes, I believe] So it probably was moved from i386 to amd64 and live there since.

I have another change to the acpi_wakeup.c in pipe, after that I might look into coalescing code that creates page table for low 4G 1:1.
