Xose Vazquez Perez reported boot warnings when NX is disabled on the kernel command line.
__early_set_fixmap() triggers this warning:
attempted to set unsupported pgprot:
8000000000000163
bits:
8000000000000000
supported:
7fffffffffffffff
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:537
__early_set_fixmap+0xa2/0xff
because it uses __default_kernel_pte_mask to mask out unsupported bits.
Use __supported_pte_mask instead.
Disabling NX on the command line also triggers the NX warning in the page
table mapping check:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 1 at arch/x86/mm/dump_pagetables.c:262 note_page+0x2ae/0x650
....
Make the warning depend on NX set in __supported_pte_mask.
