THe L_PTE_USER actually has nothing to do with stage 2 mappings and the
L_PTE_S2_RDONLY value sets the readable bit, which was what L_PTE_USER
was used for before proper handling of stage 2 memory defines.

Good catch.

While we're at it, why not directly set it to be RW instead of RO? The
only use of PAGE_S2_DEVICE immediately sets the writeable bit anyway.

Fast, cheap, reliable. Pick two.

hmm, any potential future uses of read-only device mappings? It seems
"easier" to or on write permissions than remove them, or maybe I'm
imagining things...
