[patch 10/28]xen: ignore RW mapping of RO pages in pagetable_init

[-- Attachment #1: xen-pagetable_init-ignore-ro-mappings.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2549 bytes --]

When setting up the initial pagetable, which includes mappings of all
low physical memory, ignore a mapping which tries to set the RW bit on
an RO pte. An RO pte indicates a page which is part of the current
pagetable, and so it cannot be allowed to become RW.

Once xen_pagetable_setup_done is called, set_pte reverts to its normal
behaviour.
