Some architectures do not define PAGE_KERNEL_RO, best we can do
for them is to provide a fallback onto PAGE_KERNEL. Remove the
hack from the firmware loader and move it onto the asm-generic
header, and document while at it the affected architectures
which do not have a PAGE_KERNEL_RO:

  o alpha
  o ia64
  o m68k
  o mips
  o sparc64
  o sparc

I believe the "best we can do" is to add the missing definitions for the
architectures where the hardware does support it?

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
