Maybe add this (or similar) instead of the sentence below:

This is due to the fact that we don't propagate the vsie bit from large STEs to all PTEs when splitting.

Let's copy that bit over just like the prefix bit.

Propagate the vsie_notif bit from shadowed large pages to smaller pages
when splitting a large page.
