I think there might be two different bugs.

- First bug may be related to vunmap change.
    - I'm not sure the root cause of this bug.
    - However, this bug seems to be fixed by my patch(use vm_map_ram in text_poke()).

- Second bug is kprobe_fault_handler bug
    - I found a clue of this bug which I reported below by using kdump&crash.
      http://sources.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9740#c21
    - I thought this bug should not be fixed by my patch, but as far as I tested,
      this bug disappeared with my patch.

If my thought is correct, previous test-code is only for the second bug.
I attached a bit different test code(just disabled the fault handler)
for the first bug.
