Hmm a common patch/poke kernel API is probably out of scope for this
series? I do agree though - since you suggested splitting the series
maybe that's something I can add along with the LKDTM patches.

I followed the approach in lkdtm_DOUBLE_FAULT and others in
drivers/misc/lkdtm/bugs.c. I suppose it doesn't hurt to always build the
test irrespective of CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
