So the reasons given here
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20200226062403.63790-9-ruscur@russell.cc/
were:
"
- The linear mapping is a different size and apply_to_page_range()
may modify a giant section, breaking everything
- patch_instruction() doesn't know to work around a page being marked
RO, and will subsequently crash
"
but now I'm not 100% sure about it... we might not actually need to
have that restriction.

True.

At least for now there is nothing that calls the set memory functions
on the linear map.
Is that this series:
https://lore.kernel.org/linuxppc-dev/20210317062402.533919-15-npiggin@gmail.com/
?
I will test on top of that.
