_PAGE_USER is used to select the zone. Today zone 0 is kernel and zone 1 is user. To implement _PAGE_NONE, _PAGE_USER is cleared, leading to no access for user but kernel still has access to the page so it's possible for a user application to write in that page by using a kernel function as trampoline. What is really wanted is to have user rights on pages below TASK_SIZE and no user rights on pages above TASK_SIZE. Use zones for that. There are 16 zones so lets use the 4 upper address bits to set the zone and declare zone rights based on TASK_SIZE. Then drop _PAGE_USER and reuse it as _PAGE_READ that will be checked in Data TLB miss handler. That will properly handle PAGE_NONE for both kernel and user. In addition, it partially implements execute-only right. The implementation won't be complete because once a TLB has been loaded via the Instruction TLB miss handler, it will be possible to read the page. But at least it can't be read unless it is executed first.
