Here are the ARM results:
Requested PROT | --- R-- -W- RW- --X R-X -WX RWX
========================================================================
MAP_SHARED | --- r-x !w! rwx r-x r-x rwx rwx
MAP_PRIVATE | --- r-x !w! rwx r-x r-x rwx rwx
As expected, the same as x86 since we have the same situation there -
we can not represent the write-only page permission in hardware.
