A kprobes user has asked for the ability to use kprobes to turn a specified
function into a no-op.  I couldn't figure out how to do that (Any ideas?), but
it occurred to us that jprobes takes us partway there.

Our user's request could be viewed as a special case of a more general feature:
the ability to execute a jprobe-like handler instead of (rather than before)
executing the probed function.
