Subject: [PATCH v2 3/7] powerpc/mm/ptdump: debugfs handler for W+X checks at
 runtime

From: Russell Currey <ruscur@...sell.cc>

Very rudimentary, just

	echo 1 > [debugfs]/check_wx_pages

and check the kernel log.  Useful for testing strict module RWX.

Updated the Kconfig entry to reflect this.

Also fixed a typo.
