I guess that makes sense, assuming it can never be made a module.  I saw 
you recent commit for this.

I think that module_exit/exit_uprobes should be killed, and module_init()
should be turned into __initcall(). uprobes-arm.c can have another one.

I will see if I can make this work.  Right now the arch-specific 
initialization call is done in the middle of the generic initialization 
code, but I don't know that it *has* to be that way.  I have some 
concern too about getting the order right, since these are built from 
different makefiles.
