Yes, the longjmp probe is conceptually "at entry to longjmp".  So it needs
to be just far enough in that you have demangled the pointers to make them
available as the probe's arguments.  The longmp_target probe is the one
that should be as late as possible, so all the registers except the PC
itself (or as close as the particular machine's implementation makes
possible) reflect the state being restored.
