It makes sure that referenced pages are not automatically marked
executable by QEMU (despite the XI bit).
As a user-visible change, this might unbreak some tests that attempt to
execute data. Note that this fix does not affect pages that are not
referenced prior to being executed - those have worked fine.
Otherwise for normal code that does not attempt to execute data, things
should not change at all.
