Yup; you're going to have that problem with 2.6.16, because they went off 
and moved things into different sections.  Worse, if the kernel is compiled 
with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA, then on some platforms the system call table will 
actually be stored in read-only pages, and attempts to update it will 
result in a panic.

We've been doing some work to update osi_probe to deal with this situation, 
but Chaskiel did most of the work and all of the code on this issue, and at 
4am I'm not awake enough to page in the current state.

We probably should do something about getting updated syscall table probing 
code back into Arla.
