Ah, I forgot another possibility. There might be another subsystem,
like kgdb, will put their break point on the kernel.
In that case, decoder will decode the instruction is a break point
instruction and the first opcode is int3. So, this part is correct.
In the future, we need to add a generic recover_instruction() code
for those text modification subsystems.
Thank you,
