It's fairly rare that linear mappings need to be updated, so to improve security we can map the leaf page table entries as read-only, this makes it harder for an attacker to modify the permissions of the linear mappings, while the overhead is low because the linear mappings don't need to be changed frequently. When they do need to be updated we can use fixmaps to create a temporary alternative mapping to do the update.
