Re: [RFT PATCH -next ] [BUGFIX] kprobes: Fix "Failed to find blacklist" error on ia64 and ppc64

[Masami Hiramatsu]

Hi Tony, Benjamin and Paul,

I've tried to fix this bug, but since I don't have either ppc64 nor ia64,
this patch is not tested on those archs. Please review and test it on
those machines.

Thank you,
