lguest: Map switcher text R/O
Pavel noted that lguest maps the switcher code executable and
read-write. This is a bad idea for any kernel text, but
particularly for text mapped at a fixed address.
Create two vmas, one for the text (PAGE_KERNEL_RX) and another
for the stacks (PAGE_KERNEL). Use VM_NO_GUARD to map them
adjacent (as expected by the rest of the code).
