Subject: [PATCH 3/3] powerpc/32s: Define a MODULE area below kernel text all
 the time

On book3s/32, the segment below kernel text is used for module
allocation when CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is defined.

In order to benefit from the powerpc specific module_alloc()
function which allocate modules with 32 Mbytes from
end of kernel text, use that segment below PAGE_OFFSET at all time.
