Ah, sorry, this was my fault. Yes, this function is required.
But this implementation also means there is an asm-based trampoline
function which should be included in this patch.

David, could you tell me the repository which I can get the latest
version of this series? I'd like to see the whole code of kprobes/arm64.

Thank you,
