By default page protection definitions like PAGE_RX have the _PAGE_NOEXEC
bit set. For older machines without the instruction execution protection
facility this bit is not allowed to be used in page table entries, and
therefore must be removed.
This is done at a couple of page table walkers, but also at some but not
all page table modification functions like ptep_modify_prot_commit(). Avoid
all of this and change the page, segment and region3 protection definitions
so that the noexec bit is masked out automatically if the instruction
execution-protection facility is not available. This is similar to what
also various other architectures do which had to solve the same problem.
