Christophe Leroy 2ec13df167 powerpc/modules: Load modules closer to kernel text
On book3s/32, when STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is selected, modules are
allocated on the segment just before kernel text, ie on the
0xb0000000-0xbfffffff when PAGE_OFFSET is 0xc0000000.

On the 8xx, TASK_SIZE is 0x80000000. The space between TASK_SIZE and
PAGE_OFFSET is not used and could be used for modules.

The idea comes from ARM architecture.

Having modules just below PAGE_OFFSET offers an opportunity to
minimise the distance between kernel text and modules and avoid
trampolines in modules to access kernel functions or other module
functions.

When MODULES_VADDR is defined, powerpc has it's own module_alloc()
function. In that function, first try to allocate the module
above the limit defined by '_etext - 32M'. Then if the allocation
fails, fallback to the entire MODULES area.

DEBUG logs in module_32.c without the patch:

With the patch:

We see that with the patch, no plt entries are set.
