[PATCH] x86/mm+efi: Avoid creating W+X mappings

From: Dave Hansen

From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I'm planning on sticking this in x86/mm so that it goes upstream
along with the W+X detection code.

A recent x86/mm change warns and refuses to create W+X mappings.

The 32-bit EFI code tries to create such a mapping and trips over
the new W+X refusal.

Make the EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES_CODE mapping read-only to fix it.
