Any updates or suggestions on this patch ? Currently there is a build failure on
parisc architecture due to the lack of a kprobe_fault_handler() definition when
CONFIG_KPROBES is enabled and this build failure needs to be fixed.

This patch solves the build problem. But otherwise I am also happy to just define
a stub definition for kprobe_fault_handler() on parisc arch when CONFIG_KPROBES
is enabled, which will avoid the build failure. Please suggest.
