Subject: Re: include/linux/kprobes.h:361:2: error: invalid use of undefined
 type 'struct kprobe_ctlblk'

lib/nmi-backtrace.c needs linux/kprobes.h to get at the definition of
NOKPROBE_SYMBOL().

I guess MN10300 does not support CONFIG_KPROBES=y.  CONFIG_KPROBES=y
requires the architecture asm/kprobes.h to define this structure,
and mn10300 does not.

I guess that as things like the scheduler also include linux/kprobes.h,
this is not the only instance of this error when building mn10300 with
KPROBES enabled.

So, I guess that there's nothing that can be done about the build error
other than "don't build mn10300 with KPROBES enabled".
