41*11be35a1SLionel Sambuc  * Support for executable space protection has always been erratic under i386.
42*11be35a1SLionel Sambuc  * Originally IA-32 can't do per-page execute permission, so it is
43*11be35a1SLionel Sambuc  * implemented using different executable segments for %cs (code segment).
44*11be35a1SLionel Sambuc  * This only allows coarse grained protection, especially when memory starts
45*11be35a1SLionel Sambuc  * being fragmented.
46*11be35a1SLionel Sambuc  * Later, PAE was introduced together with a NX/XD bit in the page table
47*11be35a1SLionel Sambuc  * entry to offer per-page permission.
