Currently kprobes on x86_64, in case of reentrance from post handler
disarm's the probe itself to avoid debug stack corruption and system crash.

However I saw this mail form Andi Kleen on discuss x86_64 mailing list on Mon, 
16 Jan 2006 01:56:39 +0100 
( http://www.x86-64.org/lists/discuss/msg08165.html ) which now
allows nesting of the debug entry point too. So I guess now it should be 
possible for us to support reentrancy from post handler on x86_64. (Worth a 
try, so opening this bug)

The above patch from Andi also unbreaks recursive kprobes from post handler 
which got broken starting from 2.6.15-git12.
