Hi all,

I'm porting kprobes to 2.6.14, and I think I've got it mostly done.  The 
last thing that I want to do is to mark flush_icache_range() as part of 
the .kprobes.text section so that we don't accidently try to probe it.

On ppc64 this was done by duplicating the _GLOBAL macro and just 
modifying the ".section" line.

Unfortunately for me, ppc doesn't have a ".section" line in that macro, 
so I'm at a bit of a loss.

Anyone got any suggestions, or pointers on where I could read up on it?

Chris
