Subject: [PATCH 7/7] x86/mm/pageattr: Remove implicit NX behavior
From: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@...ux.intel.com>
This is a cleanup. There should be functional changes in this patch.
The pageattr code has the ability to find and change aliases
mappings. It does this for requests by default unless the
page protections being modified contain only the NX bit.
But, this behavior is rather obscure and buried very deep
within the infrastructure. Rather than doing it implicitly
from NX, use the new CPA_NO_CHECK_ALIAS to do it more
explicitly from the call site where NX is set.
