Yes, there is a patch to duplicate kernel text. I still have a copy
although I'm sure it has gotten very stale.

Kernel text replication was part of the IA64 "trillian" patch at
one time but was dropped because we never saw any significant benefit.
However, systems are larger now & I would not be surprised if
replication helped on very large systems.

I plan to retest kernel replication within the next couple of
months. Stay tuned...
