Actually, you can. Changing something like this is the difference between a stable and unstable kernel. BTW -- that wasn't random code execution. It was an untested piece of code that didn't get executed because that hardware failure never occurred. How much of the kernel can any of us say has actually been executed? Are there any hardware error cases that are not caught in the driver or has just not been exercised because the error almost never happens?
