So I think it works. Usually only generic or x86-dependent kprobes patches are upstreamed via tip tree, and arch-dependent part of kprobes patches should go through arch specific tree. Of course I can also provide a new git repo for kprobes on kernel.org. :) (But still which repo I should send a pull request is a question...)
