Updating the patch according to Andrew's comment.

This patch lists all active probes in the system by scanning through
kprobe_table[]. It takes care of aggregate handlers and prints the type
of the probe.
Letter "k" for kprobes, "j" for jprobes, "r" for kretprobes. It also
lists address of the instruction,its symbolic name(function name +
offset) and the module name. One can access this file through
/sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list.

Output looks like this
=====================
llm40:~/a # cat /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list
c0169ae3 r sys_read+0x0
c0169ae3 k sys_read+0x0
c01694c8 k vfs_write+0x0
c0167d20 r sys_open+0x0
f8e658a6 k reiserfs_delete_inode+0x0 reiserfs
c0120f4a k do_fork+0x0
c0120f4a j do_fork+0x0
c0169b4a r sys_write+0x0
c0169b4a k sys_write+0x0
c0169622 r vfs_read+0x0
