Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86: deal with remaining W+X pages on Xen

The two patches here are entirely independent (i.e. they could by applied
in any order and/or go through separate trees), but for the warning to go
away both are necessary.

1: x86: consider effective protection attributes in W+X check
2: x86-64/Xen: eliminate W+X pages
