Some powerpc like the 8xx don't have a RW bit in PTE bits but a RO (Read Only) bit.
This patch implements the handling of a _PAGE_RO flag to be used in place of _PAGE_RW

v2 is a complete rework compared to v1

Is this really necessary? It's already clearing the valid bit.

Likewise in several other places that set or check for _PAGE_RO on pages
for which no access is permitted.

You're unconditionally clearing _PAGE_RO, and apparently relying on the
undocumented behavior of pte_update() to clear "clr" before setting
"set".

Instead I'd write this as:

unsigned long set = pte_val(entry) &
(_PAGE_DIRTY | _PAGE_ACCESSED | _PAGE_RW | _PAGE_EXEC);
unsigned long clr = pte_val(entry) & _PAGE_RO;
Don't you mean ?

unsigned long clr = ~pte_val(entry) & _PAGE_RO;

Because, we want to clear _PAGE_RO when _PAGE_RO is not set in entry.

pte_update(ptep, clr, set);
