I guess that makes sense, assuming it can never be made a module. I saw you recent commit for this.

I think that module_exit/exit_uprobes should be killed, and module_init()
should be turned into __initcall(). uprobes-arm.c can have another one.


I will see if I can make this work. Right now the arch-specific initialization call is done in the middle of the generic initialization code, but I don't know that it *has* to be that way. I have some concern too about getting the order right, since these are built from different makefiles.
