[PATCH] Kprobes causes NX protection fault on i686 SMP
Fix a problem seen on i686 machine with NX support where the instruction could not be single stepped because of NX bit set on the memory pages allocated by kprobes module. This patch provides allocation of instruction solt so that the processor can execute the instruction from that location similar to x86_64 architecture. Thanks to Bibo and Masami for testing this patch.
