SubjectRe: [PATCH] x86: kprobes remove fix_riprel #ifdef
Hello Harvey,

A similar idea was already nack-ed by Ananth.
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/systemtap/2007-q4/msg00468.html
And I agree his thought.

Especially, "riprel" does not exist on x86_32, so fix_riprel()
is meaningless on it.
Thus, I think it would better be ifdef'd in call-site.
