A non executable stack is asecurity feature on modern platforms to protect
against an attack made possble by a flaws that allows an attacker to fill
stack memory with executable code.
As mupen64plus needs executable pages store its recompiled code the code
blocks and wrapper blocks must be allocated page aligned to change the
protection bits to executable of pages which belong to that memory block.

Some information about executable stack
