Understandable.

Go ahead and merge it.

In addition, somehow I'd prefer if there would be a way to add to include/linux/kernel.h:
+#if !defined(_THIS_IP_)
#define _THIS_IP_  ({ __label__ __here; __here: (unsigned long)&&__here; })
+#endif

That way it would somehow be possible to replace that label calulation by the
preferable inline assembly of current_text_address()...
