A better changelog:

  The following commit:

     Commit e792ff804f49 ("ia64: kprobes: Use generic kretprobe trampoline handler")

  Passed the wrong trampoline address to __kretprobe_trampoline_handler(): it
  passes the descriptor address instead of function entry address.

  Pass the right parameter.

  Also use correct symbol dereference function to get the function address
  from 'kretprobe_trampoline' - an IA64 special.

(Although I realize that much of this goes away just a couple of patches 
later.)

Thanks,

	Ingo
