There's no explanation here why this is good idea for -stable.

Plus, this seems to depend on commit
66ada2ccae4ed4dd07ba91df3b5fdb4c11335bd1 which is not present in
stable, so this will likely not build due to lack of
__kretprobe_trampoline_handler symbol. (I don't have ia64 to verify):

$ grep -ri __kretprobe_trampoline_handler .
./arch/ia64/kernel/kprobes.c:	regs->cr_iip = __kretprobe_trampoline_handler(regs, kretprobe_trampoline, NULL);
$

I believe it should be dropped.

Best regards,
									Pavel
