OK, thanks, the whole series looks fine, just one note...

My patch also changed prepare_uprobe() to use is_trap_insn(), and I think
this is right. Exactly because of 3/3 which removes is_trap() from
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().

If the original insn is_trap(), we do not want to singlestep it and get
another trap after we hit handle_swbp().
