* Support for executable space protection has always been erratic under i386.
* Originally IA-32 can't do per-page execute permission, so it is
* implemented using different executable segments for %cs (code segment).
* This only allows coarse grained protection, especially when memory starts
* being fragmented.
* Later, PAE was introduced together with a NX/XD bit in the page table
* entry to offer per-page permission.
