This macro defines an array and a bitmap, not only declare them. In addition,
the functions defined by it are used only in this specific .c file.

If there are not only one .c files use it, I think patch 7 can be improved:

#define DEFINE_EKPROBE_AREA(__t, __static)				\
__static __t __ek_##__name##_slots[NR_EARLY_KPROBES_SLOTS];		\
__static unsigned long __ek_##__name##_bitmap[EARLY_KPROBES_BITMAP_SZ];

#define DEFINE_EKPROBE_ALLOC_OPS(__t, __name, __static)			\
DEFINE_EKPROBE_AREA(__t, __static)					\
__DEFINE_EKPROBE_ALLOC_OPS(__t, __name)					\
static inline __t *ek_alloc_##__name(void)				\
{									\
...

In .h file(s):
DEFINE_EKPROBE_ALLOC_OPS(struct early_kprobe_slot, early_kprobe, extern)

In .c file:
DEFINE_EKPROBE_AREA(__t, )

What do you think?
