Allow unconfined executables to map a memory region as both executable

That should be "to map a file in a memory region", as UD's page
explains. Otherwise anyone who knows a little about dynamic
recompilers/JITs is gonna go "huh?".

Bad cut and paste. The one I pasted was for allow_execmem. Where the
definition is correct.
You mean Ulrich's page is incorrect then? I indeed had noticed it was
about execmem.
java/mono apps are not confined by this, since
they run under a different context.
Java/Mono are not the only programs with dynamic code generators in
them.
