Log Message:
The L1 entry of the first page of the data segment is overwritten for the
LAPIC page, and set as RWX+PG_N. The LAPIC pa is fixed, and its va resides
in the data segment. Because of this error-prone design, the kernel image
map is not linear, and I first thought it was a bug (as I vaguely said in
PR/51148). Using large pages for the data segment is therefore wrong, since
the first page does not actually belong to the data segment (even if its va
is in the range). This bug is not triggered currently, since local_apic is
not large-page-aligned.

We will certainly have to allocate a va dynamically instead of using the
first page of data; but for now, disable large pages on the data segment,
and map the LAPIC as RW.

This is the last x86-specific RWX page.
