Subject: [PATCH v6 7/8] ARM: mm: allow non-text sections to be non-executable
Adds CONFIG_ARM_KERNMEM_PERMS to separate the kernel memory regions
into section-sized areas that can have different permisions. Performs
the NX permission changes during free_initmem, so that init memory can be
reclaimed.
This uses section size instead of PMD size to reduce memory lost to
padding on non-LPAE systems.
Based on work by Brad Spengler, Larry Bassel, and Laura Abbott.

+ If this is set, kernel memory other than kernel text (and rodata)
+ will be made non-executable. The tradeoff is that each region is
+ padded to section-size (1MiB) boundaries (because their permissions
+ are different and splitting the 1M pages into 4K ones causes TLB
