Keep in mind that the the sequence of unregistering a 
probe should be same irrespecitve of whether user wants 
to unregister a single probe or user want to 
unregister more that one probe, i.e. you can not say 
use this call (unregister_kprobe() ) for unregistering 
a probe which is b.t.w slow and use this set of calls if you 
have more than one kprobes to unregister for faster unregistration.

thanks,
