Subject: [PATCH 01/14] powerpc/8xx: Fix initial memory mapping

Commit cf209951fa7f ("powerpc/8xx: Map linear memory with huge pages")
introduced an initial mapping of kernel TEXT using PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT,
but the pages that contain kernel TEXT may also contain kernel RODATA,
and depending on selected debug options PAGE_KERNEL_TEXT may be either
RWX or ROX. RODATA must be writable during init because it also
contains ro_after_init data.

So use PAGE_KERNEL_X instead to be sure it is RWX.

Fixes: cf209951fa7f ("powerpc/8xx: Map linear memory with huge pages")
