Without the ability to atomically write 16 bytes, we can not update the
middle slot of a bundle, slot 1, unless we stop the machine first. This
patch will ensure the ability to robustly insert and remove a kprobe by
refusing to insert a kprobe on slot 1 until a mechanism is in place to
safely handle this case.

Rusty, this is wrong. You should fail only
if (slot == 1) && (bundle_encoding[template][1] != L) {
This is because for MLX template we will actually be patching
the instruction on slot = 2 and not on slot 1.
