Primitive AF.

All @haiku kernel memory is now W^X.
https://github.com/haiku/haiku/commit/cb0977326dd79327ff3e342816e0dd118019b058

kernel: Enforce W^X protection for kernel areas. · haiku/haiku@cb09773

We already adhere to this in the kernel itself as well as all in-tree drivers, so we might as well actually enforce it now.
