All edits are to comments except for removing CR4_PSE which is ignored if you set CR4_PAE.

"If Physical Address Extension (PAE) is used, the size of large pages is reduced from 4 MiB down to 2 MiB, and PSE is always enabled, regardless of the PSE bit in CR4." -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_Size_Extension
