Subject: [PATCH -tip v5 6/8] x86: Introduce text_poke_smp_batch() for
	batch-code modifying

Introduce text_poke_smp_batch(). This function modifies several
text areas with one stop_machine() on SMP. Because calling
stop_machine() is heavy task, it is better to aggregate text_poke
requests.

Frederic, I've talked with Rusty about this interface, and
he would not like to expand stop_machine() interface, since
it is not for generic use.
