After the following powerpc commits, all calls to set_memory_...()
functions check returned value.
- Commit 8f17bd2f4196 ("powerpc: Handle error in mark_rodata_ro() and
mark_initmem_nx()")
- Commit f7f18e30b468 ("powerpc/kprobes: Handle error returned by
set_memory_rox()")
- Commit 009cf11d4aab ("powerpc: Don't ignore errors from
set_memory_{n}p() in __kernel_map_pages()")
- Commit 9cbacb834b4a ("powerpc: Don't ignore errors from
set_memory_{n}p() in __kernel_map_pages()")
- Commit 78cb0945f714 ("powerpc: Handle error in mark_rodata_ro() and
mark_initmem_nx()")

All calls in core parts of the kernel also always check returned value,
can be looked at with following query:

   $ git grep -w -e set_memory_ro -e set_memory_rw -e set_memory_x -e set_memory_nx -e set_memory_rox `find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | grep -v arch | grep /`

It is now possible to flag those functions with __must_check to make
sure no new unchecked call it added.

Do you plan to take this patch anytime soon ?

The generic part of the same was already applied in previous cycle, see 
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/82ce8e2f31a1eb05b1527c3d807bea40031df913

I was waiting for the generic part to land, sorry I missed it.

Will put this in next now.

cheers
