PATCH 1/1 xen: don't drop NX bit

When converting the pfn/mfn in a pagetable entry, make sure we mask out the protection flags properly. Formerly, this code was losing the NX bit, and not dealing with extra Xen-defined software flags in ptes.

Because NX is now enforced properly, we must put the hypercall page into the .text segment so that it is executable.

Oops, ignore this. This depends on another unposted patch. I'll repost shortly.
