This is the first of a series of patches to build up a suitable kprobes blacklist. This series only blacklists the exception vectors.
While I have more patches in the works to blacklist other symbols, I wanted to get some early feedback on these two patches to ensure that the approach is ok. So, I'm posting these right away. I'd especially appreciate a review of the first patch and feedback on whether it does the right thing with/without relocation. My tests didn't reveal any issues. Thanks, Naveen Naveen N.
