[patch 0/9] Text Edit Lock

Hi Andrew,

Here is the the text edit lock.

It consists in an architecture independent mutex that protects live kernel text
modification and architecture specific RX/RWX remapping functions (for i386 and
x86_64) to support the DEBUG_RODATA config option.

It applies on 2.6.23-rc2-mm2.
