Subject: [RFC] [PATCH 0/2] provide check for ro_after_init memory sections

Provide a mechansim for other functions to verify that their arguments
are read-only. This implements the first half of a suggestion made by
Kees Cook for the Kernel Self Protection Project:

   * provide mechanism to check for ro_after_init memory areas, and
     reject structures not marked ro_after_init in vmbus_register()

I have succesfully compiled this series on next-20170206 for x86. I am
not sure how to go about testing these changes (perhpas with LKDTM?).
