Hmm, the latest kprobe-tracer on -tip/master doesn't support
regs_get_argument_nth() anymore, because the function ABI
strongly depends on each function interface, compile option
etc. So I removed it (14640106f243a3b29944d7198569090fa6546f2d
and aa5add93e92019018e905146f8c3d3f8e3c08300).

Yeah, those patches are still on -tip tree. Since I'm working on
-tip/master for kprobe-tracer etc., please work on -tip tree.

Thank you!
