Nits: Other that taking the nice, readable, x86 one and globbing it onto
a single line, looks OK to me.  It does seem a _bit_ silly to go to the
trouble of converting to 'bool' and then using 0/1 and an 'int'
internally instead of true/false and a bool, though.  It's also not a
horrible thing to add a single line comment to this sucker to say:

/* returns true if kprobes handled the fault */

In any case, and even if you don't clean any of this up:
