Why do we need to propagate the token this far?

What if addr isn't page-aligned?

I'm slightly uncomfortable with this. Can other cores make the pages
writable again here before we've set R/O? I think this would be neater if,
instead of explicit set/clear operations, we had a single function that
takes a set mask and a clear mask and writes the page table once (we also
avoid the extra TLBI that way)

What about UXN? (I don't have the ARM ARM to hand, but we may want to set
both)
