Some architectures (i.e.: sparc64 and arm64) make reasonable partial stack
duplication for jprobes problematic. Document this.

Applied to the docs tree, thanks.

Was kind of hoping to see an ack (or critique) from a sparc maintainer.

So are you saying you don't want the patch applied at this point?

I think we can apply it. It's not looking like we're going to get comments from a sparc/kprobes maintainer. The need for this change was first addressed on the sparc email alias exactly one week ago, which is maybe long enough to wait.

Sorry for the trouble,
