Neither of these are actually correct: the instruction stream is defined
(for versions of the ISA manual newer than 2.2) as a stream of 16-bit
little-endian parcels, which is different than just being little-endian.
In theory we should represent this as a type, but we don't have any
concrete plans for the big endian stuff so it doesn't seem worth the
time -- we've got variants of this all over the place.
Instead I'm just dropping the unnecessary type conversion, which is a
NOP on LE systems but causes an sparse error as the types are all mixed
up.

This patch enables "kprobe & kretprobe" to work with ftrace
interface. It utilized software breakpoint as single-step
mechanism.
Some instructions which can't be single-step executed must be
simulated in kernel execution slot, such as: branch, jal, auipc,
la ...
Some instructions should be rejected for probing and we use a
blacklist to filter, such as: ecall, ebreak, ...
We use ebreak & c.ebreak to replace origin instruction and the
kprobe handler prepares an executable memory slot for out-of-line
execution with a copy of the original instruction being probed.
In execution slot we add ebreak behind original instruction to
simulate a single-setp mechanism.
The patch is based on packi's work [1] and csky's work [2].
- The kprobes_trampoline.S is all from packi's patch
- The single-step mechanism is new designed for riscv without hw
single-step trap
- The simulation codes are from csky
- Frankly, all codes refer to other archs' implementation
