This patch changes the kprobes implementation to use the generic ARM
instruction set condition code checks, rather than a dedicated
implementation.

These benchmarks show the basic speed of kprobes and verify the success
of optimisations done to the emulation of typical function entry
instructions (i.e. push/stmdb).

This is used to verify that all combinations of CPU instructions
described by the kprobes decoding tables have a test case.

These check that the bitmask and match value used in the decoding tables
are self consistent.

On ARM we have to simulate/emulate CPU instructions in order to
singlestep them. This patch adds a framework which can be used to
construct test cases for different instruction forms. It is described in
detail in the in-source comments of kprobes-test.c

These test that the different kinds of probes can be successfully placed
into ARM and Thumb code and that the handlers are called correctly when
this code is executed.
