Dear Paul

I think the key to the problem lies in your attached console.log
(pasted below), at times 0.014987 and 0.015995, I see there are two
locks (cpu_hotplug_lock and jump_label_mutex)  holded while
kmem_cache_alloc calls __might_resched (0.023356).

I guess PowerPC's map_patch_area should  temporary release above two
locks before invoking map_kernel_page (which will call
kmem_cache_alloc):

static int map_patch_area(void *addr, unsigned long text_poke_addr)
{
        unsigned long pfn;
        int err;

        if (is_vmalloc_or_module_addr(addr))
                pfn = vmalloc_to_pfn(addr);
        else
                pfn = __pa_symbol(addr) >> PAGE_SHIFT;

        err = map_kernel_page(text_poke_addr, (pfn << PAGE_SHIFT), PAGE_KERNEL);

        pr_devel("Mapped addr %lx with pfn %lx:%d\n", text_poke_addr, pfn, err);
        if (err)
                return -1;

        return 0;
}

I will try to think it over in the coming days.
