The book3s/32 MMU doesn't support per page execution protection and doesn't support RO protection for kernel pages. However, on the 603 which implements software loaded TLBs, execution protection is honored by the TLB Miss handler which doesn't load Instruction TLB for non executable pages. And RO protection is honored by clearing the C bit for RO pages, leading to DSI. So on the 603, STRICT_MODULE_RWX is possible without much effort. Don't disable STRICT_MODULE_RWX on book3s/32 and print a warning in case STRICT_MODULE_RWX has been selected and the platform has a Hardware HASH MMU.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
