The __Pxxx/__Sxxx macros are only for init protection_map[]. All
usage of them in linux should come from protection_map array.

Becasue a lot of architectures would re-initilize protection_map[]
array, eg: x86-mem_encrypt, m68k-motorola, mips, arm, sparc.

Using __P000 maybe won't cause bug because hw would deny access
with PROT_NONE permission, but it's not rigorous.

Or rephrase with something similar.

Agreed.

Not very clear. Could you please rephrase.

Agreed.

Please just replace __P000 and __S000 with protection_map[0] and
protection_map[8] respectively. Also reformat this comment section
if required.

With the above changes in place.

Okay, protection_map[] init

I would use checkpatch.pl next time, thx.

Using __P000 directly wouldn't equal protection_map[0] in many arches,
but the reason why it didn't cause the problem is the hardware ignores
the other bits when prot-attribute is denied.
