[1] after set_kernel_text_ro, PMD_SECT_AP_WRITE is set
in corresponding PMD.

[2] after set_kernel_text_rw, PMD_SECT_AP_WRITE is also set
in corresponding PMD.

as shown in [7/8] in this patch series.

+#ifdef CONFIG_ARM_LPAE
+	pmd[0] = __pmd((pmd_val(pmd[0]) & mask) | prot);
+#else
+	if (addr & SECTION_SIZE)
+		pmd[1] = __pmd((pmd_val(pmd[1]) & mask) | prot);
+	else
+		pmd[0] = __pmd((pmd_val(pmd[0]) & mask) | prot);
+#endif

[3] As far as I could understand,
I wonder if PMD_SECT_AP_WRITE should be cleared
when setting RO.

btw, would you please shed light on PMD_SECT_APX,
since it is not included in both MT_MEMORY_RWX and
MT_MEMORY_RW mm types.

        [MT_MEMORY_RWX] = {
                .prot_pte  = L_PTE_PRESENT | L_PTE_YOUNG | L_PTE_DIRTY,
                .prot_l1   = PMD_TYPE_TABLE,
                .prot_sect = PMD_TYPE_SECT | PMD_SECT_AP_WRITE,
                .domain    = DOMAIN_KERNEL,
        },
        [MT_MEMORY_RW] = {
                .prot_pte  = L_PTE_PRESENT | L_PTE_YOUNG | L_PTE_DIRTY |
                             L_PTE_XN,
                .prot_l1   = PMD_TYPE_TABLE,
                .prot_sect = PMD_TYPE_SECT | PMD_SECT_AP_WRITE,
                .domain    = DOMAIN_KERNEL,
        },
