[RFC][PROTO][PATCH -tip 2/7] kprobes: introducing generic insn_slot framework

[Masami Hiramatsu <mhiramat@redhat.com>]

Make insn_slot framework support various size slots.
Current insn_slot just supports one-size instruction buffer slot. However,
kprobes jump optimization needs larger size buffers.
