Subject: [PATCH 0/4] arm64: wire up VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS

Wire up the code introduced in v5.2 to manage the permissions
of executable vmalloc regions (and their linear aliases) more
strictly.

One of the things that came up in the internal discussion is
whether non-x86 architectures have any benefit at all from the
lazy vunmap feature, and whether it would perhaps be better to
implement eager vunmap instead.
