Andrew Boie 2d9bbdf5f3 x86: remove support for non-PAE page tables PAE tables introduce the NX bit which is very desirable from a security perspetive, back in 1995. PAE tables are larger, but we are not targeting x86 memory protection for RAM constrained devices. Remove the old style 32-bit tables to make the x86 port easier to maintain. Renamed some verbosely named data structures, and fixed incorrect number of entries for the page directory pointer table.

Protection tests
#################################

Overview
********
This test case verifies that protection is provided
against the following security issues:

* Write to read-only data.
* Write to text.
* Execute from data.
* Execute from stack.
* Execute from heap.

Building and Running
********************

This project can be built and executed as follows:


.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: tests/kernel/mem_protect/protection
   :board: <board name>
   :goals: run
   :compact:

Connect the board to your host computer using the USB port.
Flash the generated zephyr.bin on the board.
Reset the board.
