Despite the word 'debug' in CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, this kernel option

This generally sounds good. Thanks for attacking this!
On the bikeshedding front, *maybe* it would be nice to mention
permissions in the name, something like STRICT_KERNEL_RWX. That might
also prevent the reading of 'hardened' as 'optional overhead'.
That said, the proposed name is fine by me -- I'm happy so long as
'DEBUG' goes.
(Apologies for the delay, my SMTP was set up incorrectly so my
messages didn't actually get sent out)
I like that better since it's describing specifically what the config
should be setting as opposed to something more vague. That might fit
better with what Pavel was suggesting as well.
Thanks,
Laura
