Disabling PROT_EXEC on a mapping tells the kernel it doesn't need to take
care of I-cache coherency. So it's somewhat beneficial even in absence of
a protection bit in the actual TLB hardware.
Some of these performance optimizations are impossible because the kernel
can't have definate knowledge that certain addresses have never entered the
I-cache.
