Yes, this looks entirely reasonable to me.

I wonder if you also want to tighten up on_func_entry? Wouldn't the
above suggest something like:

kprobe_opcode_t *arch_adjust_kprobe_addr(unsigned long addr, unsigned long offset,
					 bool *on_func_entry)
{
#ifdef PPC64_ELF_ABI_V2
	unsigned long entry = ppc_function_entry((void *)addr) - addr;
	*on_func_entry = !offset || offset == entry;
	if (*on_func_entry)
		offset = entry;
#else
	*on_func_entry = !offset;
#endif
	return (void *)(addr + offset);
}

Then you can also go and delete the arch_kprobe_on_func_entry rudment.

For the rest, Yay at cleanups!, lots of magic code gone.
