<title>module: move the set_fs hack for flush_icache_range to m68k</title>

<content type='text'>
flush_icache_range generally operates on kernel addresses, but for some
reason m68k needed a set_fs override.  Move that into the m68k code
insted of keeping it in the module loader.

Pull livepatching updates from Jiri Kosina:

 - simplifications and improvements for issues Peter Ziljstra found
   during his previous work on W^X cleanups.

   This allows us to remove livepatch arch-specific .klp.arch sections
   and add proper support for jump labels in patched code.

   Also, this patchset removes the last module_disable_ro() usage in the
   tree.

   Patches from Josh Poimboeuf and Peter Zijlstra

 - a few other minor cleanups

<content type='text'>
ARM stores unwind information for .init.text in sections named
.ARM.extab.init.text and .ARM.exidx.init.text.  Since those aren't
currently recognized as init sections, they're allocated along with the
core section, and relocation fails if the core and the init section are
allocated from different regions and can't reach other.

  final section addresses:
        ...
        0x7f800000 .init.text
        ..
        0xcbb54078 .ARM.exidx.init.text
        ..

 section 16 reloc 0 sym '': relocation 42 out of range (0xcbb54078 -&gt;
 0x7f800000)

Allow architectures to override the section name so that ARM can fix
this.
