Please, stop thinking like this.  If you're trying to change the kernel
section mappings after threads have been spawned, you need to change
them for _all_ threads, which means you need to change them for every
page table that's in existence at that time - you can't do just one
table and hope everyone updates, it doesn't work like that.
