The rest of the heap (backed by individual pages) is already mapped RW.
Mapping these pages RWX presents a security hazard.

Also, in another branch memory gets allocated using vm_allocate, which
sets memory protection to VM_PROT_DEFAULT (which is RW). The mismatch
between protections prevents Mach from coalescing the VM map entries.
