There's definitely sense in that. It would impose a theoretical limit on the
number of probepoints a process could hit; but registering 16K uprobes would
probably stretch some practical limits -- e.g., related to the size of struct
uprobe_probept or the lengths of the hash lists in uproc->uprobe_table[].
Unfortunately, making all the slots private on 1-2 architectures doesn't reduce
overall code complexity.
