[PATCH v6 06/10] powerpc/lib/code-patching: Use alternate map for patch_instruction()

From: Balbir Singh <bsingharora at gmail.com>

This patch creates the window using text_poke_area, allocated via
get_vm_area(). text_poke_area is per CPU to avoid locking.
text_poke_area for each cpu is setup using late_initcall, prior to
setup of these alternate mapping areas, we continue to use direct
write to change/modify kernel text. With the ability to use alternate
mappings to write to kernel text, it provides us the freedom to then
turn text read-only and implement CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.

This code is CPU hotplug aware to ensure that the we have mappings for
any new cpus as they come online and tear down mappings for any CPUs
that go offline.
