If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Beulich commit 3625c2c234ef66acf21a72d47a5ffa94f6c5ebf2 upstream. For PAE kernels "unsigned long" is not suitable to hold page protection flags, since _PAGE_NX doesn't fit there. This is the reason for quite a few W+X pages getting reported as insecure during boot (observed namely for the entire initrd range).
