I have posted a replacement patch for that commit: "[PATCH v6] RO/NX
protection for loadable kernel modules"
Please let me know if you would rather see a short "patch patch"
rather than complete patch replacement. The fix, essentially, is to
encapsulate entire bodies of unset_section_ro_nx() and
set_section_ro_nx() inside #ifdef CONFIG_X86 ... #endif. This way
set_memory_* will be called only on x86.
Thanks.
