[PATCH] Kprobes IA64: cmp ctype unc support
The current Kprobes when patching the original instruction with the break
instruction tries to retain the original qualifying predicate(qp), however
for cmp.crel.ctype where ctype == unc, which is a special instruction
always needs to be executed irrespective of qp. Hence, if the instruction
we are patching is of this type, then we should not copy the original qp to
the break instruction, this is because we always want the break fault to
happen so that we can emulate the instruction.
This patch is based on the feedback given by David Mosberger
