Bug description:
  == SRU Justification ==

  Booting an i386 Bionic kernel in a VM with a 64-bit CPU leads to:

  [    1.114324] x86/mm: Checked W+X mappings: FAILED, 96 W+X pages found.

  
  == Fix ==

  Backport commit c200dac78fec ("x86/mm: Do not warn about PCI BIOS W+X
  mappings").

  
  == Regression Potential ==

  Low. The patch only modifies debugging output.

  
  == Test Case ==

  To reproduce, boot an i386 kernel in QEMU with '-cpu qemu64' and check
  the kernel logs.
