Yes I put it as the complete end of the entry part, ie just before 
stack_ovf which is a function by itself.

Note that reenable_mmu is inside an #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS.

I'm not completely sure where to put the _ASM_NOKPROBE_SYMBOL()s, that's 
the reason why I put it close to the symbol itself in my first series.

Could you have a look at the code and tell me what looks the most 
appropriate as a location to you ?
