x86: teach the static_protection function about high mappings
Right now, enforcing that the high mapping of the kernel text doesn't get the NX bit is done deep in the guts of CPA, rather than in the static_protection() function that enforces all other per-arch sanity checks. This patch moves this sanity check into the central static_protection() function instead, and makes it apply ONLY to the kernel text, not to all other areas in the high mapping.
