    xen/arm: mm: Set-up page permission for Xen mappings earlier on
    
    Xen mapping is first create using a 2MB page and then shatterred in 4KB
    page for fine-graine permission. However, it is not safe to break-down
    superpage page without going to an intermediate step invalidating
    the entry.
    
    As we are changing Xen mappings, we cannot go through the intermediate
    step. The only solution is to create Xen mapping using 4KB entries
    directly. As the Xen should always access the mappings according with
    the runtime permission, it is then possible to set-up the permissions
    while create the mapping.
    
    We are still playing with the fire as there are still some
    break-before-make issue in setup_pagetables (i.e switch between 2 sets of
    page-tables). But it should slightly be better than the current state.
