This series reduces by 70% the time required to activate
ftrace on an 8xx with CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX.

Measure is performed in function ftrace_replace_code() using mftb()
around the loop.

With the series,
- Without CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, 416000 TB ticks are measured.
- With CONFIG_STRICT_KERNEL_RWX, 546000 TB ticks are measured.
