Will Deacon a6fadf7e67 arm64: mm: introduce present, faulting entries for PAGE_NONE
This is mostly a port of dbf62d5006 ("ARM: mm: introduce L_PTE_VALID
for page table entries") and 26ffd0d43b ("ARM: mm: introduce present,
faulting entries for PAGE_NONE") from ARM, which makes use of present,
faulting page table entries for page table entries mapped as PROT_NONE.

The main difference with this implementation is that we can make use of
the two pte type bits in order to avoid allocating a software bit for
identifying PROT_NONE pages, instead reserving the 10b suffix for these
types of mappings.

This is required to prevent users from accessing such pages via syscalls
such as read/write over a pipe.
