We should NEVER have RW + x at the same time (at least when the kernel
is compiled properly.)  Looks like your patch does get rid of a bunch of
stuff in the low mapping -- although the low mapping really should never
be +x at all -- but there are still problems with the high mapping.

Oh yes, and then there is EFI.  If that means we need to keep a
completely separate page tables for EFI than so be it...
