(This is a sixth and final set of patches)

When kprobes are inserted into code an ARM instruction is replaced
by a breakpoint. When this is hit, the original instruction must be
emulated out-of-line. This patchset fixes some bugs in the instruction
decoding and adds emulation for some newer ARMv7 instructions.

[PATCH 1/5] ARM: kprobes: Reject probing of undefined data processing instructions
[PATCH 2/5] ARM: kprobes: Add emulation of MOVW and MOVT instructions
[PATCH 3/5] ARM: kprobes: Add emulation of SBFX, UBFX, BFI and BFC instructions
[PATCH 4/5] ARM: kprobes: Add emulation of hint instructions like NOP and WFI
[PATCH 5/5] ARM: kprobes: Tidy-up kprobes-decode.c
