I though the logic of this flag was changing (so that you request an NX
mapping instead), so I'd hold off on this change until the kernel has
decided what it's doing.

Also, the ARM SMMU doesn't mandate any flags, you probably need this as
a result of using a PL330, which is an odd case of a DMA master that
spits out EXEC transactions (instruction fetch).
