Subject: [PATCH -tip 0/2] x86/kprobes: Fix and cleanup can_boost()

Hi,

Here are 2 bugfixes for the x86/kprobes, [1/2] fixes an old bug which tries to find
instruction prefixes in insn->opcode (which should be never found) and misusing
insn->attr. [2/2] fixes a new bug found by Coverity in the recent commit 6256e668b7
("x86/kprobes: Use int3 instead of debug trap for single-step").
To fix the 2nd one, [2/2] also cleanup the switch-case with range cases, because
that is much more clear what is not boostable.

Thank you,

---
