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.

Oh, I like this! This would be handy to have on all architectures.

*thread necromancy*

Is this patch still something folks are working on? It'd be nice to be
able to trigger this check at runtime.

The series was taken over by Jordan.

v15 of the series was accepted, but that particular patch was dropped in 
v11 (see 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/cover/20210429031602.2606654-1-jniethe5@gmail.com/)

The comment was:

Some patches were dropped from this revision:
   powerpc/mm/ptdump: debugfs handler for W+X checks at runtime
     - Will use Christophe's generic ptdump series

Not sure what happened after that.
