For hash32, the zero shadow page gets mapped with PAGE_READONLY instead of PAGE_KERNEL_RO, because the PP bits don't provide a RO kernel, so PAGE_KERNEL_RO is equivalent to PAGE_KERNEL. By using PAGE_READONLY, the page is RO for both kernel and user, but this is not a security issue as it contains only zeroes.
