clear_fixmap() is OK. I've made a tree with all these fixlets, in the 
proper order and with the commit logs tidied up:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mingo/linux-2.6-x86-fixes3.git for-linus

[ i integrated Jiri's commit to before your fix because he really 
  deserves that commit (and more) for his relentless debugging effort. ]

below is the full shortlog and diff. Minimally tested on 64-bit so far.

------------------>

Ingo Molnar (3):
      x86: make clear_fixmap() available on 64-bit as well
      x86: make __set_fixmap() non-init
      x86: harden kernel code patching

Jiri Slaby (1):
      x86: fix text_poke()

Linus Torvalds (1):
      x86: clean up text_poke()
