[patch 2/5] [kprobes] Tweak to the function return probe design

[rusty . lynch]

(The following is a resend from this morning.  The various kernel mailing list
did not seem to get my email, so I am resending the patch series from another
machine.)

The following patch contains the i386 specific changes for the new
return probe design.
