Hmm, good point.  I'll reword the "requesting RW->RX" and "RW->RX intent"
phrases to make it clear that we don't actually know whether userspace
intends to do W->X or WX, and I'll also expand the "Note, this hybrid
EXECMOD and EXECMEM behavior" comment to explain that existing checks
won't prevent WX.

Doh, messed that up.  Thanks!

Same mental error.  Will fix.

At least I'm consistent.
