While dusting out the firmware loader closet I spotted a PAGE_KERNEL_*

others. Turns out we have other PAGE_KERNEL_* fallback hacks in
other places.

This moves them to asm-generic, and keeps track of architectures which
need some love or review. At least 0-day was happy with the changes.

Matthew Wilcox did put together a PAGE_KERNEL_RO patch for ia64, that
needs review and testing, and if it goes well it should be merged.

  mm: provide a fallback for PAGE_KERNEL_RO for architectures
  mm: provide a fallback for PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for architectures

No list of changes that happened from v1?  :(

Didn't know you'd want it for such simple patch set, but I'll provide one for v3 and
also list the changes in v2.

Nothing is "trivial" really, and given the huge rate of patch
submissions, how is anyone supposed to remember what you did in the last
one?

thanks,
