You can use generic_ptrace_peekdata()/generic_ptrace_pokedata() for
these. Or kill them off and let ptrace_request() handle it.

This is a reimplementation of ptrace_resume(), you can kill all of these
off as well, as they are also handled generically these days.

Or rather, they would be, if you defaulted to ptrace_request() for the
unhandled cases.
