I think that this is too strong statement. It is not even true on i386
without PAE.
Also, the man page describes the interface between pmap and MI VM, so
it should explain the difference between required in allowed. In this
case, it is acceptable for an architecture to implement pmap_qenter() by
creating non-exec mappings, but the architecture is not required to do
that.
