This trans_pgd_map_page() used to be create_single_mapping() It creates page tables that
map one page: the relocation code.

Why do you need a different pgprot? Surely PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC is exactly what you want.

trans_pgd is what you pass in to trans_pgd_map_page() or trans_pgd_create_copy().
Do you mean what those functions return?

As you need another copy of this in the next patch, is it worth declaring this globally
and making it const?

This thing only maps one page.
