It tests if mark_rodata_ro() operated correctly. Yes internally that uses c-p-a, but there's more code there, including a set of boundary conditions etc. And for the page table to work, cr0 needs to be set up correctly etc etc etc. > Other than it is identical [modulo the kernel mapping bit on 64bit]-- it's a test of mark_rodata_ro(), not of c-p-a.
