I think it would be useful to add a comment here so that we remember
why this code is the way it is:

/*
 * Provide a blacklist of symbols identifying ranges which cannot be kprobed.
 * This blacklist is exposed to userspace via debugfs (kprobes/blacklist).
 */

With that, you can have my ack for the series:

Catalin -- can you pick these up with that comment added, please?

Cheers,

Will
