There is a potential gain to be had with a direct
jump instead of a breakpoint, but the caveats need to be traded off
with the complexity it brings in.

For now, mark OPTPROBES na for powerpc.

If we haven't yet investigated whether this feature is something beneficial
to the powerpc kernel, it should just stay as TODO, not be marked as n/a.

Yep, agreed. As discussed in the other thread we'll leave this as TODO until we
know it's either not a win or not worth the complexity.

cheers
