MARKER mechanism, try 2

[Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>]

Hi Ingo,

I played a bit with my marker proof of concept, it now makes a lot more sense.
Here it is. Comments are welcome.

It supports 5 modes :

- marker becomes nothing
- marker calls printk
- marker calls a tracer
- marker puts a symbol (for kprobe)
- marker puts a symbol and 5 NOPS for a jump probe.
