Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing/kprobes: make Kconfig dependencies generic

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>

KPROBES_EVENT actually depends on the regs and stack access API (b1cf540f)
and not on x86.
So introduce a new config option which architectures can select if they
have the API implemented and switch x86.
