This patch set implements CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA on Powerpc32
after fixing a few issues related to kernel code page protection.

Changes in v2:
  Instead of making the entire kernel RW to patch code in ftrace,
  we now only change the rights on the page to be modified

Changes in v3:
  Changing the rights is performed in patch_instruction() instead of
  being done only in ftrace, so that other functionnalities like
  jump_label also works.

  powerpc/mm: Fix kernel RAM protection after freeing unused memory on
    PPC32
