Following is a patch against 2.4.18-pre3 which fixes a problem where the
protection on user stack pages are not marked executable even though
the flags indicate the page is executable. Some more aggressive cache
flush optimizations may rely on the execution marking to indicate if a page
needs to be flushed as it might be present in an icache which is not
coherent with the dcache.
Actually, PAGE_COPY happens to be executable on many platforms.
