Shall we call this execmem_default_init_data?

Do we really need to check each of these? IOW, can we do:

if (!pgprot_val(execmem_params.modules.data.pgprot)) {
       execmem_params.modules.data.pgprot = PAGE_KERNEL;
       execmem_params.modules.data.alignment = m->text.alignment;
       execmem_params.modules.data.start = m->text.start;
       execmem_params.modules.data.end = m->text.end;
       execmem_params.modules.data.fallback_start = m->text.fallback_start;
      execmem_params.modules.data.fallback_end = m->text.fallback_end;
}
