[PATCH 46/51] ARM: kprobes: Reject 32-bit Thumb coprocessor and SIMD instructions

From: Jon Medhurst <tixy at yxit.co.uk>

The kernel doesn't currently support VFP or Neon code, and probing of
code with CP15 operations is fraught with bad consequences. So we will
just reject probing these instructions.
