Cover letter [patch 00/11] Text Edit Lock for 2.6.24-rc4-git3

Hi,

Here is a repost of the text edit lock for 2.6.24-rc4-mm3. It is useful to coordinate modification of live kernel code patching.

It includes a modification to kprobes (its first user) and is useful for the Immediate Values.

It could be interesting to queue it for 2.6.25.

Mathieu
