Someone cares, and it should be scheduled to be fixed for 4.5. The EFI
mapping changes that were required to avoid the warning were much too
big and late to make 4.4.
So for now, don't enable CONFIG_DEBUG_WX for now. Unless you want to
actively debug the EFI mapping changes, that is. Which I heartily
recommend people doing.
(The patches are in Matt Fleming's tree at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mfleming/efi.git efi-pgtable
and I think they are also merged in the -tip tree for next, but I
haven't double-checked)
