Series arm64: refactor the rodata=xxx | expand

Commit Message

Huang Shijie Nov. 26, 2024, 8:56 a.m. UTC 
The rodata=noalias is the original rodata=on.

The rodata=noalias can provide us more block mappings and contiguous hits
to map the linear region which minimize the TLB footprint. And the
linear aliases of pages belonging to read-only mappings in vmalloc
region are also marked as read-only.

Also update kernel-parameters.txt for it:
   change "full" to "noalias"
