Thanks for this. I can reproduce the failure on my Juno board, so I'd like to queue this for 4.5 since it fixes a real issue. I've taken the liberty of rebasing the arm64 part to my fixes branch and writing a commit message. Does the patch below look ok to you?

From 57adec866c0440976c96a4b8f5b59fb411b1cacb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Mika=20Penttil=C3=A4?= <mika.penttila@nextfour.com> Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 15:47:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] arm64: mm: avoid calling apply_to_page_range on empty range MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Calling apply_to_page_range with an empty range results in a BUG_ON from the core code. This can be triggered by trying to load the st_drv module with CONFIG_DEBUG_SET_MODULE_RONX enabled:
kernel BUG at mm/memory.c:1874! Internal error: Oops - BUG: 0 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: CPU: 3 PID: 1764 Comm: insmod Not tainted 4.5.0-rc1+ #2 Hardware name: ARM Juno development board (r0) (DT) task: ffffffc9763b8000 ti: ffffffc975af8000 task.ti: ffffffc975af8000 PC is at apply_to_page_range+0x2cc/0x2d0 LR is at change_memory_common+0x80/0x108
This patch fixes the issue by making change_memory_common (called by the set_memory_* functions) a NOP when numpages == 0, therefore avoiding the erroneous call to apply_to_page_range and bringing us into line with x86 and s390.
