I'd love to review these patches.  Is there any possibility that I  
could get you to build them for arch/powerpc on top of David Gibson's  
port of ebony to arch/powerpc.

I dont see much value in adding kprobes into arch/ppc and have been  
trying to push any 'new' functionality get added to arch/powerpc and  
only bug fixes to arch/ppc.
