[PATCH 10/30] x86, kaiser: allow NX to be set in p4d/pgd

From: Dave Hansen
Date: Wed Nov 08 2017 - 14:52:32 EST



From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We protect user portion of the kernel page tables with the NX
bit to cripple it. But, that trips the p4d/pgd_bad() checks.
Make sure it does not do that.
