This patchset intends to improve tlb utilization by using hugepages for
the linear mapping.
As reported by Anup in v6, when STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is enabled, we must
take care of isolating the kernel text and rodata so that they are not
mapped with a PUD mapping which would then assign wrong permissions to
the whole region: it is achieved the same way as arm64 by using the
memblock nomap API which isolates those regions and re-merge them afterwards
thus avoiding any issue with the system resources tree creation.
