Yeah, I'm frustrated mainly because I've been telling people that
mainline will probably have PMP support when 2.6.24 comes out and it
seems we'll miss the merge window again.  Oh, well...

->pmp_read/write stuff is something which I've been meaning to change
anyway.  When developing the PMP code, PMP register access while frozen
seemed necessary but now I think we can be just as safe without it.  I
was thinking about changing it after merge because the current code
received a lot of testing and I didn't want to destabilize it right
before merging.

I'll be back home mid next week.  I'll try to re-test and re-submit the
changes ASAP.

Thanks.
