I think we should extend multiple_kprobes selftest to also place
contiguous probes to catch such errors.
Yes. But each architecture implementation is different and it looks a
little difficult to decide which offsets need to be tested.
I don't think we need to be accurate here. A test to simply try putting 
a probe at every byte within the first 256 bytes of a kernel function 
should help catch many such issues. Some of those probes will be 
rejected, but we can ignore errors.
