Thanks, this is on fixes. Are you going to remove the ARM code as well?


Yeah and also I realized that I forgot to remove the declarations from
the header file.
My bad. I will send out a v2. Please drop this one and take v2.

I just fixed it up

RISC-V: Remove unused code from STRICT_KERNEL_RWX
This patch removes the unused functions set_kernel_text_rw/ro.
Currently, it is not being invoked from anywhere and no other architecture
(except arm) uses this code. Even in ARM, these functions are not invoked
from anywhere currently.
