but then it crashes init:

 init[1]: segfault at ffffffffff600400 ip ffffffffff600400 sp 
 7fff81bedda8 error5printk: 7740690 messages suppressed.

because you changed __PAGE_KERNEL_VSYSCALL as well, from:

 #define __PAGE_KERNEL_VSYSCALL \
         (_PAGE_PRESENT | _PAGE_USER | _PAGE_ACCESSED)

to:

 #define __PAGE_KERNEL_VSYSCALL          (__PAGE_KERNEL_RO | _PAGE_USER)

but __PAGE_KERNEL_RO is an NX one, so the vsyscall cannot execute 
instructions.

so this wants to be:

 #define __PAGE_KERNEL_VSYSCALL          (__PAGE_KERNEL_RX | _PAGE_USER)

this was the last bug and the resulting kernel boots fine. 3 nasty bugs 
in one patch :-/
