Sam, to be clear, you mean that I could put this stuff into general
include/linux/linkage.h with general names as ENTRY/END and the same
for KPROBE so it could be merged into -next tree for testing? If yes,
that as I said there will be a lot of errors so build will stuck in
a moment 'cause of unbalanced ENTRY. Not sure if it's a good idea :)
