This change was problematic for a couple of reasons: 1. It missed a some entry points (Xen things and 64-bit native). 2. The entry it changed can be executed more than once. This isn't really a problem, but it conflated per-cpu state setup and global state setup. 3. It broke 64-bit non-NX. 64-bit non-NX worked the other way around from 32-bit -- __supported_pte_mask had NX set initially and was *cleared* in x86_configure_nx. With the patch applied, it never got cleared.
