Hi,

Recently while staring at kprobes code for an unrelated task, I
noticed some opportunities for improving the code.

The first patch fixes a long standing bug in kprobes debug
functionality. The remaining patches (marked RFC) refactor the code to
increase code sharing, improve readability and remove redundancy.

All feedback welcome.

Thanks,
Punit
