Bug Description
SRU Justification:
Impact: Kernel data is marked as read-only by this option and it is set for security reasons on all kernel flavours. However it had been disabled in the i386 virtual flavour because of a bug that would prevent booting in EC2 (bug #699828).
Fix: This issue is now fixed and it is possible to turn this option back on.
Testcase: Compiled current kernel with the option turned back on and boot tested on EC2 and local Xen test system.
