Thanks. I'll try to read this patch tomorrow, but you do know that I can't
review (or even understand ;) the change in riprel_analyze().

As for other changes, perhaps we can cleanup them later somehow, but I am
not going to discuss this now. I agree that the fix should be as simple
as possible.

Only on nit,

OK, but please define UPROBE_FIX_RIP_ALL as

	#define UPROBE_FIX_RIP_ALL	\

Please do not bother to do this right now, lets wait for review.
