I tested the change up to (including) patch 4 to verify it doesn't
introduce regression when not using
CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_MODULES_DATA_IN_VMALLOC,

Then I tested with patch 5. I first tried with the 'hello world' test
module. After that I loaded several important modules and checked I
didn't get any regression, both with and without STRICT_MODULES_RWX and
I checked the consistency in /proc/vmallocinfo
/proc/modules /sys/class/modules/*

I also tested with a hacked module_alloc() to force branch trampolines.
