There is approved way for modules to set kernel code executable, because well they shouldn't. And as stated many times we do not add interfaces for things not in mainline to start with. So as a first step please submit your module for inclusion and then we can discuss if it actually happens to be a valid use case or not, and how to best accomodate it.
