I'm guessing this is a s390?

What I believe is happening is that we are modifying different memory to
fix up the enums by the types. The print_fmt happens to be defined by:

static char print_fmt_##call[] = print;

Which is writable. But the types are defined with:

.type = #_type"["__stringify(_len)"]", .name = #_item,

Which are not. It just so happens that on x86 this is still writable
during boot up, so it wasn't a problem.

[ here I wanted to add a patch, but I haven't figured out the best way to
  fix it yet. ]
