Some architectures like powerpc require a non standard allocation of optinsn page, because module pages are too far from the kernel for direct branches. Define weak alloc_optinsn_page() and free_optinsn_page(), that fall back on alloc_insn_page() and free_insn_page() when not overridden by the architecture.

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.
