Attempting to build a recent 2.6.6/2.6.7 sparc64 kernel w. the PaX 
patch, and I get a compile error due to an undefined reference to 
pte_exprotect.  Doing some digging, this function seems to have gotten 
pulled out of sparc code a way long time ago, around kernel 1.3.4.  It 
also vanished from mips code about a year or so later (Around 2.0.x or 
just shortly before).

I can't find any reasoning in the one patch that removed the function 
that explained its removal, and considering most other archs still seem 
to have it, I'm curious as to why it was pulled.  Ideas?
