We test VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC in the read case below, and that
is because we have no HPTE encoding to say "writable but not readable"
or "executable but not readable".  Similarly we have no encoding to
say "writable but not executable" on classic processors, so if you
have just VM_WRITE set, you get a page that is readable, writable and
executable.
