So the problem is that mark_readonly() splits a code PMD due to NX. Then the second pti_clone_entry_text() finds a kernel PTE but a user PMD mapping for the same address (from the early clone) and gets upset. And we can't run mark_readonly() sooner, because initcall expect stuff to be RW. But initcalls do modprobe, which runs user crap before we're done initializing everything. This is a right mess, and I really don't know what to do.
