Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] mm: PAGE_KERNEL_* fallbacks

This is the 3rd iteration for moving PAGE_KERNEL_* fallback
definitions into asm-generic headers. Greg asked for a Changelog
for patch iteration changes, its below.

All these patches have been tested by 0-day.

Questions, and specially flames are greatly appreciated.

v3:

Removed documentation effort to keep tabs on which architectures
currently don't defint the respective PAGE_* flags. Keeping tabs
on this is just not worth it.

Ran a spell checker on all patches :)

v2:

I added a patch for PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC as suggested by Matthew Wilcox.

v1:

I sent out a patch just for dealing witht he fallback mechanism for
PAGE_KERNEL_RO.

Luis R. Rodriguez (2):
  mm: provide a fallback for PAGE_KERNEL_RO for architectures
  mm: provide a fallback for PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC for architectures
