x86: Add NX protection for kernel data
This patch expands functionality of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to set main
(static) kernel data area as NX.
The following steps are taken to achieve this:
1. Linker script is adjusted so .text always starts and ends on a page bound
2. Linker script is adjusted so .rodata always start and end on a page boundary
3. NX is set for all pages from _etext through _end in mark_rodata_ro.
4. free_init_pages() sets released memory NX in arch/x86/mm/init.c
5. bios rom is set to x when pcibios is used.
The results of patch application may be observed in the diff of kernel page

The patch has been originally developed for Linux 2.6.34-rc2 x86 by
Siarhei Liakh <sliakh.lkml@gmail.com> and Xuxian Jiang <jiang@cs.ncsu.edu>.
-v1: initial patch for 2.6.30
-v2: patch for 2.6.31-rc7
-v3: moved all code into arch/x86, adjusted credits
-v4: fixed ifdef, removed credits from CREDITS
-v5: fixed an address calculation bug in mark_nxdata_nx()
-v6: added acked-by and PT dump diff to commit log
-v7: minor adjustments for -tip
-v8: rework with the merge of "Set first MB as RW+NX"
