#     This is because at boot up, kernel text is writable, and there's no
#     reason to do tricks to updated it.  But the verifier does not
#     distinguish updates at boot up and at run time, and causes a warning at
#     time of boot.
#     
#     Add a check for system_state == SYSTEM_BOOTING and allow it if that is
#     the case.
#     
#     [ These SYSTEM_BOOTING special cases are all pretty horrid, but the x86
#       text_poke() code does some odd things at bootup, forcing this for now
#         - Linus ]
