Because of late module patching, a livepatch module needs to be able to apply some of its relocations well after it has been loaded. Instead of playing games with module_{dis,en}able_ro(), use existing text poking mechanisms to apply relocations after module loading. So far only x86, s390 and Power have HAVE_LIVEPATCH but only the first two also have STRICT_MODULE_RWX. This will allow removal of the last module_disable_ro() usage in livepatch. The ultimate goal is to completely disallow making executable mappings writable. [ jpoimboe: Split up patches. Use mod state to determine whether memcpy() can be used.
