Hi Trond-

Resending the first batch of 2.6.27 patches, with additional fixes.

Using the RPC procedure name in debugging messages should no longer add a
risk of a segmentation fault.

I've also done a third re-implementation of the tk_action function name
patch.  I finally managed to find an interface that will perform the symbol
table lookup, and can be called from a module or from built-in code.

Oddly this API has been around for a while; I'm not sure how I missed it
originally.  But it should implement the nice function-name-rather-than-
memory-address feature without a wonky table, and without requiring any
additional changes when adding a new FSM state function.  It will display
the function name if the lookup succeeds; otherwise it will display a hex
memory address.  It works for any arbitrary pointer stored in the
tk_action field.

I've thought of a couple of other ways rpc_show_tasks() could be improved.
First, it could display the IP address of the server handling each request;
and it should have a different column layout for systems with 64-bit
addresses.  All for another day, I suppose.
