[PATCH] kprobes/ia64: refuse inserting kprobe on slot 1



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.
