I was looking at this recently trying to figure out why this hadn't been
implemented and couldn't determine why this one was special, it might be
because it is 32-bit only. Since it is 32-bit only, can you put ifdefs
around it for riscv32 (#if __riscv_xlen == 32) ?
Can you also add a test case to:
arch/riscv/kernel/tests/kprobes/test-kprobes-asm.S?
