Some people seem to think uretprobes is harder to grok and/or port than one
might suppose.  So we provide for the possibility of a port that implements
uprobes but not uretprobes.

We do.  However, as part of the magic, the platform-dependent code must indicate
whether it supports SSOL.  The interminable argument is about how to express that.
