[PATCH] Move kprobes examples to samples/ (resend)

[Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli]

Andrew,

This patch moves the kprobe examples currently in
Documentation/krprobes.txt to under samples/. Patch originally by Randy
Dunlap. I have modified the examples slightly per Christoph's
suggestions.

Move kprobes examples from Documentation/kprobes.txt to under samples/.
Patch originally by Randy Dunlap.

In addition, I have

o Updated the patch to apply on 2.6.23-mm1
o Modified examples code to build on multiple architectures. Currently,
  the examples code works for x86_64, x86_32 and powerpc
o Cleaned up unneeded #includes
