Re: [PATCH] x86: make SMP locks handling interact properly with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA (2nd try)

I guess we'll need to do the same thing for paravirt_ops patching?

On x86-64 additionally remove all mappings past the kernel image, and
remove leftovers from the removal of the more general (but abandoned)
SMP alternatives.

I'd already posted a patch to remove smp alternatives. I thought it had been merged already, but I guess it's in Andi's queue.
