    Subject[patch 11/37] Text Edit Lock - kprobes architecture independent support
    Use the mutual exclusion provided by the text edit lock in the kprobes code. It
    allows coherent manipulation of the kernel code by other subsystems.

    Changelog:

    Move the kernel_text_lock/unlock out of the for loops.
