This patch series is part of the version 7 of patch 'ARM: kprobes: enable OPTPROBES for ARM 32.'. Its main goal is introducing checker mechanism to give a chance to detail check each probed instructions. Based on Masami Hiramatsu's suggestion, I make it a dedicated series.

Patch 4/4 in this series also fix a minor bug in kprobe: original ARM kprobe allows probing on instructions like 'str r0, [sp, r1]', which is unsafe because we are unable to determine the stack space required to be protected. However, this bug exists since 2007, and gcc for ARM actually doesn't generate code like it.
