What if the page wasn't present due to being swapped out?

This all made me think why implement read_opcode() again.. I know its
all slightly different, but still.

Naming is somewhat inconsistent, most of your functions have the _uprobe
postfix and now its a uprobes_ prefix all of a sudden.

If you want to expose this functionality to !root users printing stuff
to dmesg like that isn't a good idea.
