It's independent of termination, we will have a valid value for prot if
we terminate. And I guess it still would be undefined behavior even if
the value were invalid and we terminate.

I think what I'll do is introduce PROT_NONE, but not initialize prot
with it, but set prot to NONE whenever a code other than PGM_PROTECTION
is set.
