    powerpc/Kconfig: Enable STRICT_KERNEL_RWX for some configs · 1e0fc9d1

    All code that patches kernel text has been moved over to using
    patch_instruction() and patch_instruction() is able to cope with the
    kernel text being read only.
    
    The linker script has been updated to ensure the read only data ends
    on a large page boundary, so it and the preceding kernel text can be
    marked R_X. We also have implementations of mark_rodata_ro() for Hash
    and Radix MMU modes.
    
    There are some corner-cases missing when the kernel is built
    relocatable, so for now make it depend on !RELOCATABLE.
    
    There's also a temporary workaround to depend on !HIBERNATION to avoid
    a build failure, that will be removed once we've merged with the PM
    tree.
