[RFC 1/3] Kprobes: userspace probes new interfaces

[James Dickens]

this doesn't scale, should be a pointer to a list of applications being probed. 

small apps can have  5000 probes enabled, a moderate size app like
mozilla can have 450,000 probes.

450000 * 50 = 22.5 MB..  far too much for kernel space before we even
do any work.
