xen/arm: mm: Set-up page permission for Xen mappings earlier on
Xen mapping is first create using a 2MB page and then shatterred in 4KB
page for fine-graine permission. However, it is not safe to break-down
superpage page without going to an intermediate step invalidating
the entry.
As we are changing Xen mappings, we cannot go through the intermediate
step. The only solution is to create Xen mapping using 4KB entries
directly. As the Xen should always access the mappings according with
the runtime permission, it is then possible to set-up the permissions
while create the mapping.
We are still playing with the fire as there are still some
break-before-make issue in setup_pagetables (i.e switch between 2 sets of
page-tables). But it should slightly be better than the current state.
