[PATCH] Kprobes IA64: arch_prepare_kprobes() cleanup

Browse source

arch_prepare_kprobes() was doing lots of functionality
in just one single function. This patch
attempts to clean up arch_prepare_kprobes() by moving
specific sub task to the following (new)functions
1)valid_kprobe_addr() -->> validate the given kprobe address
2)get_kprobe_inst(slot..)->> Retrives the instruction for a given slot from the bundle
3)prepare_break_inst() -->> Prepares break instruction within the bundle
	3a)update_kprobe_inst_flag()-->>Updates the internal flags, required
			for proper emulation of the instruction at later
			point in time.
