So my allmodconfig test failed on this:

ERROR: modpost: "stack_trace_save_regs" [kernel/test_kprobes.ko] undefined!

It appears that that "stack_trace_save_regs" is not exported. And this code
can be compiled as a module.

I'm going to continue testing my code, as I have over 40 patches that need
to go into next. I'll just rebase removing this commit only (hopefully
nothing else breaks), and if everything then passes, I'll push to next.
