Unfortunately, providing an alternative set_swbp() would mean
duplicating a moderate chunk of code from kernel/uprobes.c. Adding
arch_uprobe_write_opcode() feels a little more like the right thing to
do to me. I notice there don't seem to be any alternative set_swbp
functions in the (rc6) kernel tree. I will adjust the
arch_uprobe_write_opcode imlementation as suggested.
