Subject: [PATCH 1/2] uprobes: Pass probed vaddr to
	arch_uprobe_analyze_insn()

From: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@...ibm.com>

On RISC architectures like powerpc, instructions are fixed size.
Instruction analysis on such platforms is just a matter of (insn % 4).
Pass the vaddr at which the uprobe is to be inserted so that
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn() can flag misaligned registration requests.
