This patch were here mainly here to make .rodata non-executable and for
the UEFI handover protocol, for which attributes are usually not getting
applied.

Since the UEFI handover protocol is deprecated, I'll exclude patches
from
v5 and maybe submit it separately modified to apply attributes only when
booting via this protocol.
