So far, the HYP mappings have been fairly relaxed: everything is
RWX. Oddly enough, not everybody is fond of this kind of permissions
at the highest exception level.

This small series tightens it a bit by making:
- the text mapping read-only
- the rodata mapping read-only + no-exec
- everything else read-write + no-exec

Of course, that's only valid when VHE is not in action. Tested on
Seattle and Cubietruck, based on 4.7-rc2.

Thanks,

	M.
