SubjectRe: [PATCH 4/6] ftrace, x86: make kernel text writable only for conversions

Nope.

First what you do on x86 kernels doesn't matter to ia64.
And then kernel text rewriting doesn't require any illegal aliases anyways.
It would only be a problem if someone set the kernel text uncached,
which no sane person would do.

google knows them all.
