ftrace_process_locs sorts module mcount, which is inside RO memory. Add a
ftrace_swap_func so that archs can use RO-memory-poke function to do the

Hi,
These patches add support for using large ROX pages for allocations of
executable memory on x86.
They address Andy's comments [1] about having executable mappings for code
that was not completely formed.

It will be used in the following patches.
