Our platform is arch64. We need a dynamic allocated buffer from CMA is
not to read by CPU peculative execution, so we need to remove its
kernel mapping.

I try with rodata=[off/on] on qemu, it looks like boot pass. see below.

[ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 rw rootfstype=ext4
rodata=off console=ttyAMA0 rdinit=qemu/ramdisk.img earlyprintk=serial


I also try with rodata=off on our platform and do stress test, it looks
like pass.


Thanks.
