+          Kprobes allows you to trap at almost any kernel address and
+          execute a callback function.  register_kprobe() establishes
+          a probepoint and specifies the callback.  Kprobes is useful
+          for kernel debugging, non-intrusive instrumentation and testing.
+          If in doubt, say "N".
