This patch adds Kernel Userspace Execution Prevention on the 8xx.
When a page is Executable, it is set Executable for Key 0 and NX
for Key 1.
Up to now, the User group is defined with Key 0 for both User and
Supervisor.
By changing the group to Key 0 for User and Key 1 for Supervisor,
this patch prevents the Kernel from being able to execute user code.
