Argh. I thought we only did that for the whole memory type thing
(history: nasty machine checks possible on some hardware if you mix
memory types for the same physical page with virtual mappings), but if
we do it for RO too, then yeah.

It's sad to use that horrid machinery for basically non-live code, but
whatever.
