Hi all,

I meet a problem when I use SYM_CODE_START(optprobe_template) to replace 
optprobe_template_entry.

If SYM_CODE_START is used, all optprobe will share one trampoline space. 
Under this circumstances, if user register two optprobes, trampoline 
will be overwritten by the newer one, and this will cause kernel panic 
when the old optprobe is trigger.

Using optprobe_template_entry will not have this problem, as each 
optprobe has its own trampoline space (alloced in get_opinsn_slot()).

So how to reuse SYM_CODE_START  in this situation, does anyone has a 
good idea?

Thanks,
Qi
