Subject: [PATCHv7 1/2] arm64: use fixmap for text patching

From: [email-masked] (Laura Abbott)
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2015 14:59:53 -0800

When kernel text is marked as read only, it cannot be modified directly.
Use a fixmap to modify the text instead in a similar manner to
x86 and arm.

v7: Dropped early code path. Now using fixmap unconditionally for all patching.
