Subject: [PATCH 0/1] Move {idmap_pg_dir,tramp_pg_dir,swapper_pg_dir}

This patch moves {idmap_pg_dir,tramp_pg_dir,swapper_pg_dir} to .rodata
section, which makes KSMA more difficult. At the same time, it is more
concise than the previous patches[1][2]. As James Morse suggested[2],
this patch updates swapper_pg_dir through the fixmap entry.
