Re: [PATCH 4/7] ftrace, PPC: use probe_kernel API to modify code

Impact: use cleaner probe_kernel API over assembly

Using probe_kernel_read/write interface is a much cleaner approach
than the current assembly version.

Possibly naive question: how is it possible for the accesses to the
instructions to fault, given that we are called through kstop_machine
(according to the comment) and nothing else should be happening?
