That's not correct.  _etext is set in the linker script to be the end of
the text + readonly data + exception table + unwinder tables + notes.
_edata_loc is the end address of the read/write data section stored in
read-only memory, which exists to be copied by the early kernel assembly
code to RAM.  There's no need for that to remain mapped.

I think you need to either provide more details of the problem you're
seeing, or further reasoning why this is a correct change.
