#     powerpc/module_64: Fix livepatching for RO modules
#     
#     Livepatching a loaded module involves applying relocations through
#     apply_relocate_add(), which attempts to write to read-only memory when
#     CONFIG_STRICT_MODULE_RWX=y.  Work around this by performing these
#     writes through the text poke area by using patch_instruction().
#     
#     R_PPC_REL24 is the only relocation type generated by the kpatch-build
#     userspace tool or klp-convert kernel tree that I observed applying a
#     relocation to a post-init module.
#     
#     A more comprehensive solution is planned, but using patch_instruction()
#     for R_PPC_REL24 on should serve as a sufficient fix.
#     
#     This does have a performance impact, I observed ~15% overhead in
#     module_load() on POWER8 bare metal with checksum verification off.
#
