Seriouly, how about the patch below?

In fact, given that you are going to reimplement set_swbp/orig_insn,
the new member is not strictly needed (afaics). But it looks more
clear this way, and we need s/MAX_UINSN_BYTES/sizeof()/ anyway.

Subject: [PATCH] uprobes: introduce arch_uprobe->ixol

Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy
arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn)
just the copy of the original insn.

This is not true for arm which needs to create another insn to
execute it out-of-line.

So this patch simply adds the new member, ->ixol into the union.
This doesn't make any difference for x86 and powerpc, but arm
can divorce insn/ixol and initialize the correct xol insn in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().
