This patch fixes a reference to Documentation/kmod.txt

If you want to use C++ in the kernel you would need to prov
Previously these checks would only check a single address, which is ok
for 4k pages, but not for large pages

Only force RO in the advisory protection checks when all pages in the
range are RO. Previously it would trigger when any page in the range
was ro.
I believe this will make try_preserve_large_page much safer to use.

This makes it use the same tests for this as pageattr.
Does not check advisory protections yet because that is not needed yet.

There is a big difference between NX and RO. NX absolutely has to be cleared
or the kernel will fail while RO just can be set, but does not need to.
And for a large page area not setting NX if there is a area below
it that needs it is essential, while making it ro is optional again.
This is need

The source code for this driver is currently located in drivers/char, and
given that this is not an x86 processor feature, it shouldn't live in the
x86 Kconfig.
So lets move it to the Kconfig for drivers/char instead, and just add
a dependency on x86.

The following patch series moves the two laptop drivers from x86 Kconfig (i8k
and toshiba) to drivers/char, which is where the source for them lives anyway.
Given they are not x86 processor features, the x86 Kconfig menu is not really
an appropriate place for them to live.
This is against Linus l
