I guess that's another story. Here we are not talking about a place 
where kprobe has been illegitimately activated, but a place where there 
is a valid trap, which generated a valid 'program check exception'. And 
kprobe was off at that time.

As any 'program check exception' due to a trap (ie a BUG_ON, a WARN_ON, 
a debugger breakpoint, a perf breakpoint, etc...) calls 
kprobe_handler(), kprobe_handler() must be prepared to handle the case 
where the MMU translation is disabled, even if probes are not supposed 
to be set for functions running with MMU translation disabled.
