I was also thinking about where to put the prog pack allocator eventually.
Shall it be part of mm code or module code?

Btw, prog pack has more challenges with W^X requirement:
1. The arch need to have text poke mechanism;
2. Some users of prog pack need to learn to use the ROXbuffer with text poke,
  for example, how to calculate relative address differently.
