We got inspired from debug_reg_hook within the same source file ( ./arch/arm/kernel/hw_breakpoint.c ). We chose that path to keep coherency within the source code. We can implement the same fix by using an ex_table entry, but this will create two different ways at catching unknown instruction within the same source file. Will that be ok ?
