Seeing the kprobes code, I realized that we have to check for another 
scenario (Thanks, Jordan!). If this is the suffix of a prefix 
instruction for which a uprobe has already been installed, then the 
previous word will be a 'trap' instruction. You need to check if there 
is a uprobe at the previous word, and if the original instruction there 
was a prefix instruction.
