Did you consider making these execmem_params's ro_after_init? Not that
it is security sensitive, but it's a nice hint to the reader that it is
only modified at init. And I guess basically free sanitizing of buggy
writes to it.

I think we can drop the mutex's in get_module_load_offset() now, since
execmem_arch_params() should only be called once at init.
