I lied, let me send another short series.

I was not going to do this now, I am a bit tired of uprobes ;) But it seems
that Denys has a very good idea, we can simplify rip-relative handling.

However, if we are are going to change this code, imho we need to cleanup it
first. handle_riprel_insn(), pre_xol_rip_insn() and handle_riprel_post_xol()
look really annoying, imho. Even the naming asks for the cleanup imo, despite
the fact that usually I ignore the naming completely.

Oleg.
