Old implementation was using Test Protection (TPROT) instruction to
validate the memory page. Given that it is a rather slow instruction and
the fact that we only need to validate the read-access for a page, we can
use simple Load or Insert Character instruction to test that.
The new version of page_is_valid() without a TPROT is introduced.

Compilers in Debian and Ubuntu default to enabling PIE for all binaries.
This is a poor fit for boot loader code that has strict requirements
for its layout. Hence always forcefully disable PIE.
As older compilers still need to be supported, no-pie usage is
conditional on CC's -dumpspecs output.
