OK, so do we want to allow kprobes that also modify regs->sp ? Because then we need to change these trampolines a bit.
I'd prefer not to allow kprobes this.
I believe no kprobe changes sp, because it would have had the same issues we are trying to solve now. And even though we are changing things to allow it, it's not a regression to keep kprobes from doing it.
