[PATCH] ARM: dma-mapping: don't allow DMA mappings to be marked executable

[linux@arm.linux.org.uk (Russell King - ARM Linux)]

While looking at some features which Kees talked about on Tuesday, I
discovered that our DMA mappings were incorrectly marked executable,
which means that they can be subject to speculative instruction
prefetches.  This turns off executable permission for these mappings.
I'm intending to push this for v3.12 as a fix.

ARM: dma-mapping: don't allow DMA mappings to be marked executable

DMA mapping permissions were being derived from pgprot_kernel directly
without using PAGE_KERNEL.  This causes them to be marked with executable
permission, which is not what we want.  Fix this.
