[PATCH v11 1/9] powerpc/mm: Implement set_memory() routines

From: Russell Currey <ruscur at russell.cc>

The set_memory_{ro/rw/nx/x}() functions are required for
STRICT_MODULE_RWX, and are generally useful primitives to have.  This
implementation is designed to be generic across powerpc's many MMUs.
It's possible that this could be optimised to be faster for specific
MMUs.

This implementation does not handle cases where the caller is attempting
to change the mapping of the page it is executing from, or if another
CPU is concurrently using the page being altered.  These cases likely
shouldn't happen, but a more complex implementation with MMU-specific code
could safely handle them.

On hash, the linear mapping is not kept in the linux pagetable, so this
will not change the protection if used on that range. Currently these
functions are not used on the linear map so just WARN for now.

[jpn: - Allow set memory functions to be used without Strict RWX
      - Hash: Disallow certain regions
      - Have change_page_attr() take function pointers to manipulate ptes
      - Radix: Add ptesync after set_pte_at()]

v10: WARN if trying to change the hash linear map
v11: - Update copywrite dates
     - Allow set memory functions to be used without Strict RWX
     - Hash: Disallow certain regions and add comment explaining why
     - Have change_page_attr() take function pointers to manipulate ptes
     - Clarify change_page_attr()'s comment
     - Radix: Add ptesync after set_pte_at()
