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 architecture.
