[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] x86/mm: Change default value for suppress #VE in set_mem_access()

[Adrian Pop <apop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Vlad Ioan Topan <itopan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The default value for the "suppress #VE" bit set by set_mem_access()
currently depends on whether the call is made from the same domain (the
bit is set when called from another domain and cleared if called from
the same domain). This patch changes that behavior to inherit the old
suppress #VE bit value if it is already set and to set it to 1
otherwise, which is safer and more reliable.
