Subject: [PATCH] fix modules oopsing in lguest guests
Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 15:57:04 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1190613424.27805.181.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
The assembly templates for lguest guest patching are in the .init.text
section. This means that modules get patched with "cc cc cc cc" or
similar junk.
