Hi Tixy and other,

Similar to patch 01/11, build robot found a building error in this patch when ARM version
is lower than 4. In such processors 'blx' instruction is unusable.

I have posted a new version of this patch, which has following code change:

diff --git a/arch/arm/probes/kprobes/opt-arm.c b/arch/arm/probes/kprobes/opt-arm.c

Tixy, could you please collect it into your repository and test again?

Thank you!
