Can you give an actual example of a case where *all* of the following are true?

1) It's a page that's safe to make R/O out from under the code that uses that 
page.
2) It's a kernel static data that's R/W  (Hint: stuff known to be R/O is 
already set to R/O
  at boot or module load time, so if it's R/W it probably *needs* to be that...)
3) the rootkit *is* able to screw with kernel pages, but somehow *is not* able 
to
   disable your protection (remember, all it takes is one NOP or BRANCH opcode 
in
    the right place).
