Breaks the ia64 build:

include/linux/kprobes.h: In function `kprobe_handle_fault':
include/linux/kprobes.h:234: error: implicit declaration of function `kprobe_fault_handler'                                                                     

and ia64 doesn't implement kprobe_fault_handler() so there's no easy fix
here.

There's too much inlining in linux/kprobes.h, btw.
