I didn't post a v2 since I have decided against using this approach. The
reason for that is Masami's series to remove jprobes. The discussion
there reminded me that we can't easily override functions with kprobes
on powerpc. Though it works for this particular scenario, we would just
be setting a bad example.
As such, I won't be changing generic code, but will simply make the
necessary changes in powerpc code.
Sorry for the noise.
