- enable NX feature in hypervisor:
1. Set 'XD' bit for all pages, including pages for guests
when initialize MMU tables in hypervisor.
2. remove 'XD' bit for pages that contain hypervisor instructions.
3. enable MSR EFER.NXE,which will enable page access restriction by
preventing instruction fetches form pages with XD bit set.
- remove "-Wl -z noexecstack" GCC flag option in hypervisor
Makefile as it would not affect stack attribute in hyervisor,
which setup stack itself, instead of by loader.

ACRN Hypervisor ############### The open source `Project ACRN`_ defines a device hypervisor reference stack and an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. It also defines a reference framework implementation for virtual device emulation, called the “ACRN Device Model”. The ACRN Hypervisor is a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded device solutions. The ACRN hypervisor addresses the gap that currently exists between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The ACRN hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and embedded devices. You can find out more about Project ACRN on the `Project ACRN documentation`_ website. .. _`Project ACRN`: https://projectacrn.org .. _`ACRN Hypervisor`: https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor .. _`Project ACRN documentation`: https://projectacrn.github.io/
