Oh, one more thing: AFAICT, you're adding the whole XIP functionality with a bunch of ifdeffery in the main code paths. It might be better to extract and put all that code in arch/x86/xip/, away from the generic paths. I'm thinking there will be more XIP code coming besides this patchset so designing it clean from the get-go should pay out handsomely later.
Hmm.
