On book3s/32, when STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is selected, modules are allocated on the segment just before kernel text, ie on the 0xb0000000-0xbfffffff when PAGE_OFFSET is 0xc0000000. On the 8xx, TASK_SIZE is 0x80000000. The space between TASK_SIZE and PAGE_OFFSET is not used and could be used for modules. The idea comes from ARM architecture. Having modules just below PAGE_OFFSET offers an opportunity to minimise the distance between kernel text and modules and avoid trampolines in modules to access kernel functions or other module functions. When MODULES_VADDR is defined, powerpc has it's own module_alloc() function. In that function, first try to allocate the module above the limit defined by '_etext - 32M'. Then if the allocation fails, fallback to the entire MODULES area.
