No. The layout is "<text page> <per-cpu-stack-pages>..." and I lazily
did that as a single
map_vm_area(switcher_vma, PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC, lg_switcher_pages);
This boots, does it solve the problem?
Thanks!

Subject: lguest: map switcher text R/O.
Pavel noted that lguest maps the switcher code executable and
read-write. This is a bad idea for any kernel text, but particularly
for text mapped at a fixed address.
Create two vmas, one for the text (PAGE_KERNEL_RX) and another for the
stacks (PAGE_KERNEL). Use VM_NO_GUARD to map them adjacent (as
expected by the rest of the code).
