2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------
From: Bernhard Walle <bwalle@suse.de>

commit 060264133b946786b4b28a1ba79e6725eaf258f3 upstream.

The address provided by the SMBIOS/DMI CRU information is mapped via
ioremap() in the virtual address space. However, since the address is
executed (i.e. call'd), we need to set that pages as executable.

Without that, I get following oops on a HP ProLiant DL385 G2
machine with BIOS from 05/29/2008 when I trigger crashdump:
