Very rudimentary, just

	echo 1 > [debugfs]/check_wx_pages

and check the kernel log.  Useful for testing strict module RWX.

Updated the Kconfig entry to reflect this.

Also fixed a typo.

For testing strict module RWX you could instead implement  
module_arch_freeing_init() and call  ptdump_check_wx() from there.
