This patch set implements STRICT_KERNEL_RWX on Powerpc32 after fixing a few issues related to kernel code page protection.
At the end we take the opportunity to get rid of some unneccessary/outdated fixmap stuff. Changes from v1 to v2: * Rebased on latest linux-next following including of STRICT_KERNEL_RWX for PPC64 * Removed from the serie the two patches already applied.
