Subject: [PATCH] save parameter registers and restore them for jprobe handling

When jprobe is hit, the function parameters of the original function
should be saved before jprobe handler is executed, and restored it after
jprobe handler is executed, because jprobe handler might change the
register values.

Here is a patch against 2.6.14-mm1.
