Hi Luis,

Some architectures just don't have PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC. The mm/nommu.c
and mm/vmalloc.c code have been using PAGE_KERNEL as a fallback for years.
Move this fallback to asm-generic.

Architectures which do not define PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC yet:

  o alpha
  o mips
  o openrisc
  o sparc64

The above list seems to be far from complete?
