Looking at the arm side again, I think this might actually introduce a
regression for the arm/hibernate/DEBUG_PAGEALLOC combo.

Unlike __kernel_map_pages(), it looks like arm's cpa will always bail
in the set_direct_map_() functions if rodata_full is false. So if
rodata_full was disabled but debug page alloc is on, then this would
now skip remapping the pages. I guess the significance depends on
whether hibernate could actually try to save any DEBUG_PAGEALLOC
unmapped pages. Looks like it to me though.
