Subject: [PATCH RESEND] arm64: Map page table of linear map readonly

It's fairly rare that linear mappings need to be updated, so to improve
security we can map the leaf page table entries as read-only, this makes
it harder for an attacker to modify the permissions of the linear
mappings, while the overhead is low because the linear mappings don't
need to be changed frequently. When they do need to be updated we can
use fixmaps to create a temporary alternative mapping to do the update.

Resending as I didn't receive any comments on my first posting[1].
Anyone have any views as to whether this is a good idea or not?
