SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/3] x86: WARN_ON breakpoints from .kprobes.text section

Sorry, I can not understand what issue these patches can solve.
The breakpoint which is inserted by external debugger will be checked by
kprobe_handler() and be passed to other exception_notify_handlers.
In that case, we don't need to warn it.
I think current code is enough simple.

Thank you,
