x86: Disable KPROBES with DEBUG_RODATA for now
Right now Kprobes cannot write to the write protected kernel text when DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. Disallow this in Kconfig for now. Temporary fix for 2.6.22. In .23 add code to temporarily unprotect it. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

help
Mark the kernel read-only data as write-protected in the pagetables,
in order to catch accidental (and incorrect) writes to such const data.
