* Clear and restore the kernel write-protection flag on the local CPU.
* Allows the kernel to edit read-only pages.
* Side-effect: any interrupt handler running between save and restore will have
* the ability to write to read-only pages.
*
* Warning:
* Code patching in the UP case is safe if NMIs and MCE handlers are stopped and
* no thread can be preempted in the instructions being modified (no iret to an
* invalid instruction possible) or if the instructions are changed from a
* consistent state to another consistent state atomically.
* On the local CPU you need to be protected again NMI or MCE handlers seeing an
* inconsistent instruction while you patch.
