'Oops: 0000' means that this was a read of a non-present page, not a write, 
implying that we've run up against some sort of guard page (or have run off 
the end of mapped kernel memory).

Assuming that you don't want to just give up and rip the syscall stuff out, 
you'll need to make a copy of osi_probe.c:check_writable, remove the '|| 
!pte_write(*pte)', and call it "check_readable'.
Then, somewhere,  probably in try() and try_harder() near the comparison to 
init_mm.start_code, call it. You will also need to figure out where the 
32bit syscall table moved to, and adjust ia32_probe accordingly. (it's 
probably another init_mm -> generic_ro_fops thing)
