[PATCH] Kprobes IA64: safe register kprobe

The current kprobes does not yet handle register kprobes on some of the
following kind of instruction which needs to be emulated in a special way.

1) mov r1=ip
2) chk -- Speculation check instruction

This patch attempts to fail register_kprobes() when user tries to insert
kprobes on the above kind of instruction.
