on module load, we sort the __jump_table section. So we should make
it writable.

[1]Here we set the text read only before we call the notifiers. The
function tracer changes the calls to mcount into nops via a notifier
call so this must be done after the module notifiers.
If we still need the patch then please submit it standalone with a proper subject
line, with acks/signoffs added, etc.
make this patch no longer necessary. I tripped over this same issue, but the
version in the latest -mmotm does not need it, as it includes Steve's fix.
I'm facing a boot failure (panic'ed on remove_jump_label_module_init)
on 2.6.37 (latest commit 3c0cb7c), which is 100% reproducible.
With this patch applied, I can boot my machine successfully, so I do
think this patch is needed.
