Add new flags for handling freeing of special permissioned memory in
vmalloc,
and remove places where the handling was done in module.c.

This will enable this flag for all architectures.

I count on you for merging your patch-set with mine, since clearly they
conflict.

Yes, I can rebase on top of yours if you omit the changes around module_memfree 
for your next version. It should fit together pretty cleanly for BPF and modules
I think. Not sure what you are planning for kprobes and ftrace.

Are you asking after looking at the latest version of my patch-set?

Kprobes is done and ack'd. ftrace needs to be broken into two separate
changes (setting x after writing, and using text_poke interfaces), unless
Steven ack’s them. The changes introduce some overhead (3x), but I think it
is a reasonable slowdown for a debug feature.

Can you have a look at the series I’ve sent and let me know which patches
to drop? It would be best (for me) if the two series are fully merged.
