The perm_alloc interface supports architectures to direct writes
intended for an allocation to a separate writable staging area before a
mapping is made live. In order to support this, change modules to write
to the address provided by perm_writable_addr(). Currently this is the
same address of the final allocation, so this patch should not create
any functional change yet.
To facilitate re-direction to separate writable staging areas, create a
helper module_adjust_writable_addr(). This function will return an
allocation's writable address if the parameter address is from a module
that is in the process of being loaded. If the address does not meet that
criteria, simply return the address passed in. This helper, while a
little heavy weight, will allow callers in upcoming patches to simply
retrieve the writable address without context of what module is being
loaded.
