Subpage protection used to depend on the _PAGE_USER bit to implement no access mode. This patch switches that to use _PAGE_RWX. We clear Read, Write and Execute access from the pte instead of clearing _PAGE_USER now. This was done so that we can switch to _PAGE_PRIVILEGED in a later patch. subpage_protection() returns pte bits that need to be cleared. Instead of updating the interface to handle no-access in a separate way, it appears simpler to clear RWX acecss to indicate no access. We still don't insert hash ptes for no access implied by !_PAGE_RWX. Hence we should not get PROT_FAULT with change. Signed-off-by:
