2.6.33-git10(64ba99267...) was OK.

This WARN_ON was introduced by commit 4610ee1d36...

kprobes: Introduce generic insn_slot framework
FWIW, same on s390...

This patch should fix it:

When freeing the instruction slot, the arithmetic to calculate the index
of the slot in the page needs to account for the total size of the
instruction on the various architectures.

Calculate the index correctly when freeing the out-of-line execution slot.

Thanks Ananth. Boots fine on my POWER6 box without any WAR_ON.
