Subject: [PATCH] Kprobes blacklist: Conditionally add x86-specific symbols

From: Björn Davidsson <bjorn.davidsson@...ymobile.com>

The kprobes blacklist contains x86-specific symbols.
Looking for these in kallsyms takes unnecessary time
during startup on non-X86 platform.
Added #ifdef CONFIG_X86 around them.
