Some architectures like powerpc require a non standard
allocation of optinsn page, because module pages are
too far from the kernel for direct branches.
Define weak alloc_optinsn_page() and free_optinsn_page(), that
fall back on alloc_insn_page() and free_insn_page() when not
overriden by the arch
Commit 51c9c0843993 ("powerpc/kprobes: Implement Optprobes")

Instead of implementing a dedicated powerpc version, use the
common optinsn and override the allocation and freeing functio

iomap_max_page_shift is expected to contain a page shift,
so it can't be a 'bool', has to be an 'unsigned int'
And fix the default values: P4D_SHIFT is when huge iomap is allowed.
However, on some architectures (eg: powerpc book3s/64), P4D_SHIFT is
not a constant so it can't be used to initialise
