missing ";" ?


With that  and your fixes, this function claims to mark 0kB and 
lkdtm can still write. Reason is that _edata is 0xc11008 and start is
0x0c11000.

making _edata page aligned as well, does now try to mark one page, but then
we run into the next issue, that 

static void change_page_attr(unsigned long addr, int numpages,
                             pte_t (*set) (pte_t))
{
        pte_t *ptep;
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < numpages; i++) {
                ptep = walk_page_table(addr);

triggers this
                if (WARN_ON_ONCE(!ptep))
                        break;

because the kernel decided to map this with a large page. So we need
to fix this function to then break the large page into a smaller chunk....
