From: David Woodhouse <d...@amazon.co.uk>

The virtual mapping of the control page may have been _PAGE_GLOBAL and
thus its PTE might not have been flushed on the %cr3 switch and it might
effectively still be read-only. Move the writes to it down into the
identity_mapped() function where the same %rip-relative addressing will
get the new mapping.

The stack is fine, as that's using the identity mapped address anyway.

RWX")
