There exist systems other than PARISC where MDWE may not be feasible

PA-RISC folk need to ack/review-by this patch.
I'm fine with patch 1/2:
Acked-by: Helge Deller <deller@xxxxxx> # parisc
Alternatively, it needs
to be restructured to add the arch_memory_deny_write_exec_supported()
override without touching the PA-RISC code, which then makes the Arm
patch independent of the status of the PA-RISC patch. That will allow
the Arm issue to be solved even if an ack is not forthcoming for the
PA-RISC parts.
Alternatively, I wonder whether akpm would be willing to pick up this
patch set as-is.
I have no preference, but I think both patches should be pushed
together via arm tree or akpm.

Ping...Russell, Andrew, any thoughts on how this could move forward?
Thanks,
