[parisc-linux] "mark rodata section read only" patches for parisc

[Helge Deller]

I've just committed a parisc version for the rodata section protection.
Nevertheless, since I'm not a real Linux Kernel memory expert, I could help on this part which is now in arch/parisc/mm/init.c:

	unsigned long addr = (unsigned long)&__start_rodata;

        for (; addr < (unsigned long)&__end_rodata; addr += PAGE_SIZE)
                change_page_attr(virt_to_page(addr), 1, PAGE_KERNEL_RO);

change_page_attr() is a i386 function to mark the page with special access rights, in this case "PAGE_KERNEL_RO".
Maybe someone here can tell me how this can be realized on parisc ?
