Hi, these series add fixed mappings, a function to patch kernel text with RO kernel text and kgdb support to parisc. Fixed mappings are located at the end of the VMALLOC address range. patch_text() is introduced based on the ARM implementation, which utilizies fixed mappings. patch_text() only supports late patching, but we might extend it later with early patching functionality. And last but not least the last patch adds KGDB functionality. KGDB was tested on C3750 with a 32 and 64 bit kernel, on C8000 with 64 bit.
