Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] powerpc: Set ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX
To enable strict module RWX on powerpc, set:
CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y
You should also have CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX=y set to have any real
security benefit.
ARCH_HAS_STRICT_MODULE_RWX is set to require ARCH_HAS_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.
This is due to a quirk in arch/Kconfig and arch/powerpc/Kconfig that
makes STRICT_MODULE_RWX *on by default* in configurations where
STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is *unavailable*.
Since this doesn't make much sense, and module RWX without kernel RWX
doesn't make much sense, having the same dependencies as kernel RWX
works around this problem.

This means that Daniel's test on book3e64 is pretty useless since we've
gone from being unable to turn it *off* to being unable to turn it *on*.
I think this is the right course of action for now.
