commit 5d8ecb6568c598de6b6e678329e2ec0703a821f7
Author: Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 19 20:51:45 2009 -0500

    ftrace, x86: do not depend on system state for kernel text info
    
    Andrew Morton pointed out that using SYSTEM_STATE is a bad idea
    since there is no guarantee to what its state will actually be.
    
    Instead, I moved the check into the set_kernel_text_* functions
    themselves, and use a local variable to determine when it is
    OK to change the kernel text RW permissions.
