Will do in v2... which I'm going to sent out shortly. I mainly wanted to
make the most "trivial fix" since it probably needs to be backported to
4.20-stable at this late in the rc phase.

Oh, I simply copied over the individual _PAGE_* flags that the PAGE_KERNEL_NCG
macro set. The OCM is usually a small (32 KiB) DMA descriptor storage, I don't
think anyone would want to execute code in there.

K, I liked having all _PAGE_*. But I'm fine either way. 
see you for v2. :-D

I'll test if any of these make a difference and sent a separate patch.
