This wants a 'sz == PAGE_SIZE' check, otherwise you'll happily inherit
the exec flag when a PTE has exec rights while you create a block
mapping on top.
Also, I think it should be safe to make the PMD and PUD case more
permissive, as 'sz <= PMD_SIZE' for instance, as the icache
invalidation shouldn't be an issue there? That probably doesn't matter
all that much though.

FWIW, I reproduced the issue with a dummy guest accessing memory just
the wrong way, and toggling dirty logging at the right moment. And this
patch + my suggestion above seems to cure things. So, with the above
applied:
