OK, I did the check for you.

uprobe_init_insn() doesn't fail but insn_init(x86_64 => 0) parse it as
single-byte insn with OPCODE1 == 0x41, so push_setup_xol_ops() doesn't
need to worry about compat tasks.

In short, your "V2" should be fine except you can factor out
auprobe->push.ilen initialization (as you did in V3). Please send V4.

Oleg.
