I don't think it is easier.

If we do that it means we'll move some code from main.c to arch_strict_rwx.c with your series, then move it back to main.c and remove arch_strict_rwx.c when we do the fix. That's not good for history tracking because the code we move back and forth will appear as new code in main.c whereas it's code that has been there for years.

As we know the code will be back in main.c at the end, I looks easier to me to not move it at all by not applying your patch 5.

Thanks
Christophe
