I suspect this is a change similar to the recent MacOS one where
eXecutable pages cannot be mapped as Writable. The QEMU project recently
had to implement split mappings for it's JIT to workaround this although
I dare say there is probably a JIT interface that should be used to give
suitable access to pages but that is something for the BSD experts to
chime in on.
