Subject: How to handle kprobe bugs?

Now that I'm writing some test code for kprobes I'm quickly finding
further bugs with the instruction emulation. E.g. ALU ops with an
immediate operand are broke. Shall I wait until I have completed writing
all test cases before submitting a single fix patch? (It could be a
couple of weeks.)

I also find that instruction emulation for some (all?) ARMv6K and newer
instructions are missing. E.g. hint instructions like NOP and WFI. Shall
I produce a second patch to add these?

At some point I will also get around to doing my original task of adding
Thumb support to kprobes. I'm assuming that fixing ARM code is higher
priority than adding Thumb support?
