PA-RISC folk need to ack/review-by this patch. Alternatively, it needs
to be restructured to add the arch_memory_deny_write_exec_supported()
override without touching the PA-RISC code, which then makes the Arm
patch independent of the status of the PA-RISC patch. That will allow
the Arm issue to be solved even if an ack is not forthcoming for the
PA-RISC parts.

Alternatively, I wonder whether akpm would be willing to pick up this
patch set as-is.
